    Hi everyone.
    I am looking at buying a 2017 S4.The owner of the car says it uses about 1 liter of oil between services.It has 30K on the clock and so far needed topping up twice with just over a liter each time.Is that normal guys?I remember there was an issue on the early B8 TFSI engines where they would use A LOT OF OIL so don't want to get stung with this one.
    Also what else should i check on the car?Are there any common issue with this S4 model??Things to look out for??I am coming from a 3.0TDI A6C6 which is now 10 years old and never used a drop of oil other than normal servicing.
    The current owner is saying that this is normal as it's a performance car/engine but i'm not that convinced.
    As usual guys,any help or info would be much appreciated.Going too see it Saturday if all is good...

    Anyone??Been reading of some S4 owners over in America who have had to get their engines replaced.And it allways started with the low oil engine light coming on.Any S4 owners here that have had this happen to them and just topped up the oil without any issues?
    Also is it possible to have a dipstick fitted to keep a better eye on the oil level??

    The official line is oil consumption should not exceed 0.5 litre over 620 miles. If you think yours does they will invite you for an official “sealed” test where the oil is weighed before and after and compared against a Km chart, if it is even slightly better than 0.5L/1000 Km then they consider it acceptable.
