NEWEY:

stealthwolf:
I've had to use one litre in 10k miles.
182_blue:
Never needed to touch mine
matty_jetta:
Mine uses a bit but not too much, think im on my 2nd litre in about 8k.
I think it uses more on cold starts and short runs

There is an 'industry standard' for european and jap cars that from min to max should take exactly one litre. Yankie cars are one quart.
However, never, EVER let your car go down to the minium - because specifically on the GTI - the total sump capacity is 4.6 litres, so by letting the oil level drop to the min, you have basically just lost 20 percent of you lubrication abilities! :mad:
