Volkswagen Polo Owners Manual: Engine oil consumption
First read and observe the introductory information
and safety warnings
Engine oil consumption can vary from engine to engine and can change during the working life of an engine.
Depending on how you drive and the conditions in which the car is used, oil consumption can be up to 1.0 litre/2,000 km – and is likely to be higher for the first 5,000 km for new vehicles.
