Hi and many thanks for the replies After reading the above perhaps mine is normal I was just surprised when checking my oil level after a few of weeks I do about 200+ miles a week As to how much I will have to check more regularly I suppose and how many miles etc My old GTI hardly used any oil at all and I was surprised how much was being used Cheers Steve

Hi all and thanks for the replies Looks like a semi synth oil was used but I don't know what type at the moment Anybody got any recommendations? Cheers Steve

Hi thanks for the replies I have had car serviced recently and think they have used a fully synthetic oil Will have to check and get back to you Steve
