Anyone with oil usage in the RS?

Actually Castrol Edge 5w-30 is 504.00 compliant rather than 502.00 compliant. Here are the latest specs I downloaded from Erwin a few days ago.

I don't think the Australian Edge Sport is the same product as the European/UK stuff - doesn't make sense & I haven't bothered to check with Castrol Tech Dept but the TDS linked to the Australian Castrol site only says 502.0

I think they may have revised the 502.00 spec when the 504.00 spec came out? I seem to remember edge 5-30 being on the 502.00 spec when I first got my GTI (about 2 years ago). In any case, it doesn't really matter, it's fine to use.

My vRS was serviced at 15K and the oil replaced with Shell Helix as recommended. I next checked it at 19,500km and had stick in almost a litre

My oil light came on last week at 13000 past the service-I put in a litre which didn't quite bring it up to full but was enough to get it to the next service. I used Shell Helix as recomended but couldn't find exactly which helix they wanted-so I just got the most expensive.
