Make sure to check your oil level frequently!

I suppose that's true. Even my mom's Volvo V70 X/C uses no oil. Granted it only has 46k on it and it's a low pressure turbo setup, but my car was using oil after the break-in.

LIL off topic...I want a V70:smile:

Haha, I'd rock a V70 R 6MT. Hers is the first gen V70; it's a 1999. We bought it back when I first got my Mk3 Jetta GLX in 2005 with only 25k on it. She only drives it 2-3000 miles a year now.:lol:

Im actually looking for a R. :thumbsup: Looks baller on some staggered wheels and coils.

I'm still a firm believer that it has a lot to do to the poor PCV design. Has different weight done anything for oil use for anyone?

Just checked my engine oil and only the "minimum" mark was covered.
I got some Shell Helix 1 litre 5-40 for top up, filled it and holy shit I immediately felt a huge difference.

Throttle response had increased and the engine was way smoother and quieter.

Thank you for the sticky.

Yeah my 2006.5 GTI was feeling a little "uninspired" so I checked the oil level and it was hardly even registering on the dip stick. I put a quart in and let it settle for a bit and my car was back to its peppy self in no time! I check it at least every other week now cause my consumption depends wholly on my driving habits!
