Oil Level

[scirocco]

4000 miles on the clock and my oil level is half way down the drip stick are you guys finding a similar usage? One question what oil does the Scirocco require as my manual states that the specification was unavailable at the time of print. Im guessing 5W/30....

i checked my oil the other day, 5500 miles, not really dropped that much, and still looks quite clean

Yeah exact same here

I have 2700 miles on mine and the oil hasn't dropped at all

Here you go mate, this is the oil you need. As for oil consumption, the tfsi engine in the MKV golf had a well documented thirst for the black stuff, this newer tsi engine does not seem too bad but I think its prudent to check your oil level once per week. Half a dipstick in 4000 miles is well in tolerance so I would not worry, it will drink less as it gets older.

sir_rocco you've got similar mileage to mine since breakin into the five figure category, has yours used any yet, i'd have gone through a litre in the A3, not had to top the scirocco up at all

Andy,
put about 1/3 litre in at 8000, car was serviced by APS at 10000 so will see what it continues to use. Currently 12000 and not needing any yet.

I got told on collection that it does use oil quite quickly... so Just keep an eye on it.
