Engine oil light just came on..

[Greeners]

My Ed used about half a litre between each 10k service and the .:R uses nowt. 

Having said that though I still check the oil rather than be surprised that the oil light has come on. 

No your R has a thirst for another Oil based product!

Depending on the Milage of the car but if it was serviced 2 months ago it shouldnt really be needing oil unless youve done a power of miles since.

Its quite common once the miles get up on the TFSI's that the oil pick up become blocked, happened to mine during my first term of ownership. Could be worth getting the sump off and checking the pick up gauze isnt clogged up.

Yeah I got it oil changed at 121,000 kilometers and I've done 4k since... Is removing the sump a big job??

Your likely to notice it when cornering hard and the oil light will cum on, i had it the computer tell me to stop due to low oil pressure as well.

Engine Tray off, Take out the sump plug, drain out the oil, disconnect the sensors then its just a case of the sump pan bolts. At that mileage id expect it could do with it, you could try and engine flush and wait till the next service but the engine flush didnt help in my case

Yea mine drinks just under 1 liter every 1k miles, I always carry a 1l of oil on the car just incase !

Tbh the car gets almost 10 liters of fresh oil every 10k do what's the point in servicing it
