    VW 502 15W/50 oil in 2014 TSI 90

    Having ongoing high oil consumption in a Mk7 2014 TSI 90 petrol with 205000km . Needs topups ~1L every 1500-2000km.
    Has been thoroughly checked by indie mechanic, it's the well known issue of loose rings.
    I use VW 502 oils because they're ~half the price of Castrol professional III and I generally drive under 10 000km per year so am on the fixed service intervals 1yr/10k km. (Was bought used from a country driver).

    Currently using Castrol Edge 5W40 with VW 502 approval

    The question is, can I use a Nulon 15W/50 oil which meets or exceeds VW 502?

    I'd like to try it and see if it improves the oil consumption - but obviously not if it's going to cause oil starvation or damage the turbo!!

    Thanks in advance
