Took it back and explained it to the VW guy. Shrugged shoulders VW guy
What "oil light"?
IIWM it would get new quality 0 or 5w-40 oil and filter right now. You might have a leaking oil filter, have you looked. It may only leak when pressurized.

How does that help
ive had it replaced several times still no change
What is a "VW guy" ? The service writer? Time to talk to the Service Manager and lay out the facts. Writers are there to deflect at most stores.
Primary issue I see is an old car with likely high mileage. Did you buy it there and happen to get a "million mile" drivetrain service contract?
If not follow @Hermann above and get this oil change done at a different shop.

Just saw your last post. Time to have a qualified mechanic look at the car - may need turbo swap. Or engine refresh.
How many miles on this thing?

Yea, the service writer…I will reach out today although it be nice to find a VW mechanic outside the dealership
It helps by getting rid of it while it still runs and drives fine so it can fetch a higher trade in value because at that consumption it's not long for this world. Keep trying to run it and keep turning that oil light on and you'll end up with some not so pretty holes in your block.
It makes all the difference in what was the problem and what might be done about it.
He means the oil filter housing. You haven't had that replaced several times, have you?

Wait, can you give us some exact details about what happened? If oil light came on after oil service, you stop, and tow vehicle to same place where oil has been changed.
Place that uses 10W30 in VW, should be avoided like a plague. Actually, don’t drive on the streets next to that dealership.
Can you mix a full synthetic with full synthetic? Um…of course.
“Oil light came on” ??
Pressure or quantity light?

Believe me I’m thinking on it
Why not link them up?
Same OP, same car, same issue.
Sadly you won't fix anything with swapping oils, it never ever isn't any repair.

Unfortunately, your answer doesn't lie with the oil. Nor would i go back to that dealership [that changed your oil with 10w30]. I would search for a proper independent shop specializing in euro vehicles.
