GTI Orange oil light - interstate ACT

[Lucas_R]

I check the oil in my cars every week - regardless of whether they have driven 10km or 500km. My R hasnt used a drop of oil at this stage (6 months/5,000km) but i still check it religiously.

This rumour about "special run in oil" is total rubbish by the way. They are factory filled with Castrol Longlife III oil. I have 2x brothers who have worked at Audi for about 10 years combined - both have done factory tours and training in Germany and confirmed it's a load of bull. Even the mighty R8's get normal oil.

This is also backed up in this quote by Castrol which can be found on the link below "Majority of all new VW cars are first-filled with Castrol SLX Professional Powerflow Longlife III"
