I also have a 2006 2.0T Jetta and I have similar oil consumption rates. Try changing the brand of oil you use. I know the dealerships use Castrol Syntec. To me, it seems as if they're not as "durable". I swapped over to ELF for a while and that helped, and now I'm using Motul and this seems to be the best. I think my car burns around 1-2 qts every 5000kms.
Does any one know which of those oils are ester based? I know Motul 8100 X-Clean 5w-40 is... Any others?
I use only valvoline 10w60 in all turbo motors
Valvoline Synpower 5w 30 is on the approved list for VW usage, doesnt make it THE choice but whatever floats your boats I guess and in this case it looks like R P floats you the best
Valvoline SynPower full synthetic ) 5-40 (P/N VV966) is not on the VW approved oil list. But it certainly is approved, just read the label on the bottle:\"VW 502/505/505.01\"
A lot of the guys I know ended up running valvoline VR1 20W-50 (A Dino oil, fwiw) because that was the only thing that keeps their rod bearings alive for more then a couple of weekends. Switching from thinner oil to that made the difference between changing bearings every couple of weekends to once a year.
i run it in my vr, 5w 30, full synthetic, it's nice
I use motul in my vr. It's nice.
The 75K miles was tested on Motul 300V on stock internals equipped with a GT28R at the time. Prior to that I was using Motul 8100 5W-40 which I also liked
Valvoline Synpower 5W-40 also meets Volkswagen specifications.
