Re: 2007 Passat wolfsburg - oil usage

It's a good thing you check your oil. Yes they do burn oil at about 1/2 quart per 1000-2000 miles using conventional oil. If you go fully synthetic 5w30 or 5w40 you don't get as much, if any burn. I still use conventional oil 5w40 from the dealer servicing it. I have to add 1/2-3/4 quart about every 3000 miles. The burn is nothing to be concerned about unless you don't check your oil regularly as we all should for every type of vehicle.
Nice cars and yes, you bought a burner!
