Engine oil Total or OEM Volkswagen

This one was done at the local VW dealership where they added 6L of VW oil and were nice enough to collect a sample of the oil for me to send off to Blackstone. The oil in this sample had higher quantities of wear metals present vs the 3rd sample, but that is to be expected as there were more than twice as many miles on the oil.

I had a 2009 Jetta diesel that used a bit of oil until it hit 60000 miles, then it stopped and did not use ANY between the 8000 mile intervals I used.

I can personally recommend *Total Quartz Ineo FDE 0W30.* This oil has even better specifications than *Petronas.*

I did first oil change on Atlas at 5k then did 10k changes, but the 3.6 is lethargic compared to the GTI which I have been doing about every 4k miles.

I've added only one quart of oil to all the VWs I have owned over the past 35 years. I check the oil every 3 months, and get the oil and filter changed annually. I don't think that modern engines consume oil, at least, not for the first 100K miles of their life.

None of my MK7, 7.5 GTIs or GLIs consumed any. Nor does my MK8.

After 6 months of ownership, I have not lost any oil/ needed to add any oil. My MK7 1.8 TSI Golf SportWagen was the same way. Never needed to add a drop between the 10k mile oil changes. Not complaining at all. Quite the contrary. Just hit 6000 miles and the oil still looks new. I was originally planning on 5k mile oil changes but decided 7500 miles makes more sense for me at least.

2008 VW Beetle is a 2.5 liter 5 cylinder. Yeah, 5 cylinder. It takes 6.3 quarts

My previous MK7 GTI used a quart about every 3K miles from the day it was new until I traded it at 212K.

Total 9000 5w40 because he drink it
