From my experience, the 2.0T uses very little oil the first 5000 miles or so, and then starts using about a quart every 2000 miles or so until I change it. Note that I've had the best experience with Mobil1 0w40 and Castrol 5w40. When I use Castrol 0w30 European Blend, it tends to boil off fairly quickly. I haven't tried other oils yet.
OK, then what works for me is Castrol Syntec 0w30 European Car Formula.
i drive a 95 jetta vr6 i currently running mobil 1 10w-40 but i been hearing alot of good things about this new castrol edge thinking about switching to the 5w-40....im hoping i feel a difference
i run 20/50 Castrol year round. it actually reduced the burning and smoking of oil on start up, unlike Mobil 1. i'm glad i switched over.
It seems 15w-40 is the standard diesel weight. I bought Castrol last time because it was on a good promo sale.... 5 quarts and filter for $5 (after rebate).
I recently swapped to German Castrol 0w30, it starts high 30 and stays high 30, so far, I've experienced no oil loss - but it's too early to say, but it makes sense.
I have been using it for about 15k km and two oil changes and have noticed allot less burn off compared to the dealer filled castrol 5w -40.
for the ow-30 im guessing your talking about german castrol. thats what im using right now and it works well
I've owned this car for a year and stuck alot of money into it and love it but have to part cause i just ordered a RHD rx-7 from japan so i need to make room in the garage and i have to part with my VW its sad but i hope i find a good owner. INFO: 46,000 miles ENEOS oil is good for 22,000 miles they say but i still changed it every 5,000 miles. i also used it in the transmission and i felt a difference just from the oil and will use it now in every car i own.
IMO most anything is better than Castrol!
