| The engine consumes 3-4 extra quarts of synthetic oil between 5,000 mile oil change intervals as instructed by manufacturer. its a 2.0t engine that uses synthetic oil. i had previous version of 1.8t and it did not consume any oil at all. if the oil is not added, the car would take 2-3 times to start up (doesn't matter which season) and its horrible on gas mileage. went to dealership 5 times already and every time they tell me that this is normal consumption. i informed that i have to add oil to keep the car going, they told me that its not their problem until the engine ceases at which time they will look into it. as a consumer, i have no choice but to keep on adding the synthetic oil. i thought that synthetic oil is hard to break down and yes i used the recommended grade. vw is taking me for a ride. does anybody have any suggestions? | |||
