vr6 oil drinking?

[Bug_racer]

If it burns oil put something thicker in !
The S3 burns 10w30 but is fine with 15w40 !

I dont recommend long life servicing so forget about it . The oil is $$$ and hard to get , ends up costing the same as regular servicing

My vr used to drink oil so i changed to 10/40 Motul 4100 oil. Has been much better since.

mm my car seems to have slurped a litre since the last oil change..

doesn't seem worthwhile bothering changing to a more expensive oil - i'm happy to just top up every once in a while.

I agree with TIM.my vr6 used to drink about 500-1000ml every 5000kms,but I used to thrash it HARD! ! never less than 4000rpm.I used to change the oil every 5000kms and filter every 2nd change.motor worked like a quartz watch.coolant was never a problem though.
edit.. I thrashed it from new and serviced regularly, h100vw you are right.I didnt believe it when a mate told me to do it before I bought my VR6 but after I bought it I just fell in love with the ballsy sound of the vr

What engine oil does the vr6 use I'm running a little low
