Hey there
RedRobin:
^^^^
Most people report that their GTI uses more oil in the first few thousand miles and then the consumption settles down. It's best just to very regularly check the dip stick and DON'T wait for the dashboard oil light warning!! Same habit as regularly checking tyre pressures.
Most peeps change their oil every 20k miles - I change mine every 10k miles because she's modified. I change plugs every 20k miles.

....I don't quite understand, Steve.. Am I wrong about this? Or are you saying that oil consumption continues to be relatively heavy in most cases?
Saint Steve:
In mine it does Robin. Oil consuption hasnt got any less, if any its slightly worse now.
Sorry Vickster :ashamed:. Welcome to the forum :happy2:

.
@ Saintly Steve: vickster was asking about oil.
I wonder if the frequency of an oil change/service affects oil consumption. I can't see the logic of it doing so, but.
