Oil consumption on the latest 3cylinder TSI engines

Post by Alboyuk »

I have had a Japanese car for 11 years and it still does not use any oil between services, I wondered what if any the latest 3 cylinder turbo Polo engines consumption is between services and what peoples experience is with their Polo,s and oil consumption between services i have seen on YouTube that some cars can use as much as 2.5ltrs or more per 1000 miles not sure if this applies to VW engines, I know that sometimes this can be caused by low tension oil rings and lack of oil changes.
Any replies would be very welcome

Hi Alboyuk, my last 2017 Polo 6C 3 cylinder used about 500ml every 1000KM's or so. I'm not sure if the same applies to the AW Polo but someone will no doubt post a reply soon.

interesting topic.

I have only had two VW polos...

one (Polo TDi 1.4) from 2006 - 2021 never topped up the oil level between servicing

and this one (Polo 1.0 TSi) for 18 months.. level indcator show really clean oil on stick and hasn't changed level at all.

Previous cars (1975 - 2006 probably more than 10 cars Mini/Rover/Renualt/Vauxhall) were not unsimilar that I can recall apart from a Mk1 ford escort which (apart from being the worst engine for starting in the cold) hardly used oil either.

I've had mine for 30 months, it's the 115ps 6-speed, and it hasn't used any oil between services, I've only done about 1500 miles between each service though.
