like i said 280,000km and had a tick when i got it 2 years ago, used one bottle of lucas, tick is gone. i beat the sheeet out of it everyday. no more tick.
i also switched to the mobile 1 0w-40 and dont burn any in my 2.0t
Mobil 1 0W-40 is what I use; had 0 oil consumption problems w/ stock pcv.
Of course this is assuming you're using really good oil, something like Mobil1 ESP 5W-30 or at least the Castrol LL03 VW507.
My TDI is now at 5000 miles, and per my personal preference I changed the oil. It is very simple with an oil extractor. Start to finish will take less than 20 minutes. This is a fast and simple way to change the oil and stay clean.
I have been using Mobil 1 Truck and Suv, and I picked up a few mpg's which is what I recommend.
I use Mobil 1 Turbo Diesel Truck 5w-40. A 5w-40 full synthetic is going to work brilliantly in your climate.
Have also used M1 TDT 5w40 and have had great success
I was using 1 quart every 1000 miles on my o6 2.0t GTI, I actual changed to 5w40 Mobil Turbo Diesel and have gone down to about 1 quart in about 2200 miles also check you pcv as they are notorious for going bad.
IMO M1 0w40 is a very good oil that may do well in many cars. It is a master at being built to meet manufacturers specs.
