Have been driving my S3 quite hard the last few days (high revs) and today whilst driving to Tewksbury my Oil warning light came on saying Min, so I checked the oil at the next junction and it was just above the min mark, luckily I had a 1ltr bottle in a leather pouch in the boot as I heard that the S3's engine likes to munch oil from time to time, I put the 1ltr in which took it up to just above the grated area (just below max) so well happy I bought the 1ltr oil spare and pouch as I would not have wanted to drive far on min oil.
What I wanted to ask is...
Is it normal for the S3 to use oil when driven hard, considering it is designed to be driven hard, how does it munch oil so much, I know that 911's have a tendancy to eat oil so was wondering if someone could explain how the oil level drops? as I have no leaks and the exhaust does not have any smoke or sign of oil coming out?
It also shocked me that it was only 1ltr from the min mark to nearly full?
