wkdtime Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 How much are oil are you lossing and over what mileage? GTX is'nt reccomended as its semi-synth, but it's not going to harm your engine, just don't go all out on the trottle:) I'd get it changed in a couple of thousand miles with the fully synth stuff.

Rayman Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Check your undertray, could be soaking up any small leak! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrDriver Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 I use 10w30 in mine. (TT '94) Last month I also had the il warning light turning on. It appears that I lost 1 litre of oil after 6000 miles. So nothing to serious. Just changed all the oil and oilfilter, should be good for another 6000 miles now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
