I am on the opposite it seems here. I'm using 4 quarts in between the 10k interval. I'm in the process with VOA and the dealership to get it fixed. By the way does anyone know how much oil is left in there after the low oil light comes on?

Our 2015 Jetta is at 40K, but I do not remember ever adding oil in between changes. I buy the oil and filter from the local VW dealer and change the oil every 10,000 miles.

Whats the dip stick say when the light comes on is oil even viable?

I think the light will come on when it's about 1Qt/1L low which means there's still 4.5-5qrts remaining.

It's just below the hash marks. Right on top of that ball. And after adding just 1 quart it will go half way up the hash marks.

I use Amsoil and like the factory oil, have been adding 1/2 to 3/4 a quart in each 10k mile intervals through 75k miles now. That's what I am seeing on a 2015 Golf SW TDI that was new into service in May 2017.
