My engine consumes about 1 quart of oil every 5,000 miles. No leak. Is is a common occurrence?

I often drive the car hard and I am chipped.

Default Mine uses zero to 1/8 of a quart every 5,000. Absolutely a tight motor
But one quart every 5000 is probably considered "within spec" from audi. But a quart every 2,500 is a little high, IMHO.

Default Haven't used more than a 1/4 quart in between any oil change since break-in...
...and while I often cruise down the road, there's a lot of hell-bent acceleration and a few track days in there...I just let the car properly warm up before hammering on it, and always have.

Mine burned about that much until 16K miles, now at 20K miles, little to none.

That sounds like a lot. I consumed about 1/2Q the first 8,000 miles, and now virtually nothing.

How difficult is it to change the fog light bulbs on my S? Pain in the ass or pretty simple?
