    Yeah my oil looks as clean as cooking oil from your supermarket, no carbon deposits on the exhaust tip, and no oil useage so far.
    I am very happy with the car so far.
    If yours is a my13 with a CTH, that's a +1 for no oil consumption and no exhaust dust.

    On a side not my vw dealer told me as of late last year there no longer using Castrol oils even though you get castrol brochures with the new car. Wonder if this also plays a small factor?
