There's a big difference between an old Saturn engine and a relatively new 2.0T. If the 2.0T had been burning oil, the OP's friend would have seen the smoke.




How? They both are putting it out the tail pipe. And the Saturn was consuming FAR more. I have been surprised by how much oil an engine can burn without showing it; especially when it is going by the rings.



+1. Mine burns it, but you'd never know it to look at it. No smoke.

I think the point of this thread should be to direct the OP to an oil solution, and take his word that the engine is burning oil. Suggesting he check for a leak is fine, but not to the exclusion of advice to abate the oil consumption.

I think it'd be fair to ask WHY TR thinks 15w40 is bad for VW 2.0T.

I'm at a loss other than cold cranking and possibly mpg.

Visc, HT/HS, volatility, Flashpoint and deposit control are all excellent.
