Car: 2001 VW Jetta 1.8T with 153K miles ,
I'm about 2400 miles into my Auto-RX cleaning phase cycle. I used the fast track program which involves 2 bottles of ARX in conjunction with Rotella T6 5W40. So far:
I have changed the oil filters twice in the last 2K miles (1 filter change per 1K miles using big Passat filter).
I have had to top off the oil about 3 times. I last topped it off about 300 miles ago and the dipstick shows is less than 1/2 full from the median mark or about 2/3 qt gone).
Is this normal during the cleaning phase? My Jetta used to burn about a quart every 1.2K now its burning thru oil at 500-600 miles/qt. What gives???
