So just like others on here I got an oil change at July 16 2021, 23,229KM on the car. The oil light came on at approximately 25,600KM and I added 1.5 liters of oil to the engine. I looked for leaks or drips, nothing. The engine is clean as it should be for only 20,000Km on it. Then again at approximately 26500 or so it (oil light) came on again. I added approximately another 1.0 liters of oil. I let it go for a day or two then checked the level and it was still low. So I added about .5 liter to top it up. Took it to local VW store where I bought it from and the usual talk: it is normal for oil to be used they said .5 liter for 1000km. So I went 4000Km since my oil change and put in 3L of oil. Something is not right. I have never had to add that much oil to any car I have owned. I am waiting on the 1000KM test to see where it goes from there. I will add another incident and just copy this text. This is the second incident all in one.
