I think some people may have misled you... I've 07 A4 2.0T and it has 41K miles, A4 requires in every 10K oil change. My first oil change was first 5k and the 10K thereafter, so I've done 4 oil changes so far but only twice that I've added (one bottle-1qt) each. I think it depends on how you drive. I'm mid 30th and I still like to enjoy 2.0 TURBO ... Read More

For whatever value a single response may be, one of our cars is a '07 A4 Quattro 2.0T automatic, and it has no excessive oil consumption. Odometer reading, 46,500. It's a pleasure to drive.

Can someone clarify the $1500 loyalty cash? e.g. does it effectively do one of the following in the leasing calculation or does it do something else? 1) Loyalty cash lowers the sales price (or the adjusted cap cost) so that you don't pay tax on this amount 2) Loyalty cash does not lower the adjusted cap cost, so you would effectively treat it as a "rebate" or can apply it towards ...
