Oil burning engine

Topic starter

My 2016 Audi Q5 2.0 l turbo burns one quart of oil every 700 mi. The car has only 70,000 mi.  Audi considers a thousand miles and one quart of oil to be normal. Is there a cleaner or a product I can use to remedy this what's your thoughts? Thank you

Those Audi 2.0 engines are, according to Scotty, very trouble-prone. Oil burning is one of the common problems with them:

There is no magic in a can or bottle that will fix a worn-out engine. However you can try replacing the PCV valve to see if that helps. You might also try the ATS Carbon Clean product recommended by Scotty which may help if your oil control rings are fouled up with carbon.

If none of those things help then all you can do short of rebuilding or replacing the engine is to keep adding oil until the engine finally craters on you - or get rid of the vehicle.
