your vehicle ⇒ Service .

using a Volkswagen dealership for this purpose.

Engine oil consumption
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒Introduction 
Engine oil consumption can vary from engine to engine and can change during the service life of an
engine.
The vehicle may consume up to 1.0 litre of engine oil per 2,000 km, depending on your driving style
and the conditions in which the car is used. In new vehicles, consumption may be higher for the first
5,000 km. The engine oil level must therefore be checked at regular intervals, preferably each time
the vehicle is refuelled and before long journeys.
