Is it true/false that the MK5 GTI loves oil? I've had problems with cars drinking oil in the past and it was pointed out to me the other day that I should check my oil (it's just been services two months ago so I haven't for about a month) and it was riding at nearly minimum.... Does every GTI drink it??
Cheers

I buy 8l every time I do an oil change, use just under 5l and the other 3l will last me for top ups between services.
I think up to 1l per 1000miles is acceptable by VW s standards I use 3l per 10000miles
If I drive the car hard it will use more oil.
You should be checking your oil every week
