Yep 10,000 mi. If you do highway you can drag it out to 15. Just make sure you check your oil at every time you fill up fuel. It's quite normal in these cars
Yeah some of them come with the oil level and oil quality sensor. The jSW did notI'll one up you, the ECU checks the oil level each time the car is started. I don't even pop the hood until the next 10K oil change.
Is this true on all the EA 288 engines in the 2015 Sportwagens?I'll one up you, the ECU checks the oil level each time the car is started
They should. MK7s have a combination oil temp./level sensor in the sump. And it's triggered by both too low and too high a level.
Yes. 2 MQB chassis. There is nothing on the bottom of the pan, unless they have figured out to put the sensor inside the pan from the top area.
Here's the pan without the plastic sound damper shroud that covers it when installed. The sensor bolts to the large hole in the left top corner and its terminal is at a right angle that exits horizontally from a cutout in the plastic shroud. So this would be at the rear passenger corner of the pan. You really can't miss it; its the only electrical connection to the pan.
Its there, as RIP mentioned its under the thermal oil sponge pan cover. The EA288 ECU uses the sensor for thermal management and managing emissions during warm up.
