How much oil does your GTI burn?

[Modshack1]

It sounds like you are leaking oil or something thats a lot... for a 5k miles...

Not at all. Every engine is different..

46K with no oil burn, stage II.

My stage 2 burns zero oil

 

[booey1979]

Stock and none as well knock on wood. But I would imagine track duties plus aggressive driving will burn a small amount

I burn no oil - I'm running Mobil1 0W40. I have a K04.

Every car is going to be a little bit different, even if you have the same motor as everyone else. As long as you are not burning copious amounts it is okay. If you are concerned, track mileages and when you have had to top up the oil including how much oil you put in. This will help the dealer if you bring it in for your oil consumption issues. If you are going to do that, make sure you are running the same oil that the dealer provides.

Not a bad idea to keep a bottle or two of oil in your car at all times.

none, 24k miles, stage 1

 

[SwiftGTI]

None/very little in the first 10k miles.

no oil burned. I get close to 5L of old oil during changes.

 

[DarkCloak]

None.

 

[grambles423]

None Here

My mkv burns like a liter a month.

 

[Uberryan]

The spec for "Normal" oil consumption is 1qt every 1,200 miles

Wasn't that on the FSI engine only? I remember my FSI drank oil like a beast. My TSI barely takes sips.

FSI drank oil like a beast!

If you have the regular kinked dipstick in your TSI and it's just wetting the tip, I would say you are down more like 1.5 quarts or even more.

The first kink from the end is a quart low; then second one from the end is full.

New car - should be good to go - ? Yeah, I guess...

Mine doesn't burn any@20,000 miles. But the only way I'm gonna know that is by checking it.

I lost about a half a quart between the first and second oil change (every 5000mi.). I'm coming up on the third change, and as of last week it still showed full.
