Beginning at 60k miles I realized that my Jetta sport 1. 8l began to consume oil at a much higher rate than usual so much so that I took it to my nearby dealership and had it looked at. I was told that there were no leaks and that the older vw's get the more they burn oil. However, they referred to the oil burning at around a quart every 5,000 miles but my car is burning oil at 5 times that speed of a quart every 1,000 miles. I have to keep a quart of oil in my car at all times and it is beginnign to become expensive. I travel between states often and do the arizona-indiana and back trip once a year so it does have mostly highway miles on it.
