Does the 2021 Magotan Really Burn Engine Oil?

It is an isolated phenomenon. Here is more extended information about the 2021 Magotan: 1. Basic Introduction: The Volkswagen Magotan is closely related to the Passat B6, also known as FutureB6, and it is the first B-segment sedan to be produced and sold by FAW-Volkswagen since its establishment. According to FAW-Volkswagen, "Ma" symbolizes confidence, decisiveness, and dynamism, while "gotan" represents soaring, surpassing, and passion. 2. Product Design: The Magotan is a heavyweight mid-to-high-end sedan, highly recognized by European counterparts for its power, handling, safety, and craftsmanship, making it one of the most popular mid-to-high-end cars.

I bought a 2021 Magotan last year, and it has now covered over 20,000 kilometers. I've noticed a slight oil consumption issue, though not as severe as in older Volkswagen models. Occasionally, I still need to top up the engine oil. This might be related to the improved design of the EA888 engine, which tends to consume slightly more oil under normal driving conditions. I check the dipstick monthly to ensure the oil level doesn't drop below the minimum mark. My friend's Volkswagen has a similar issue, with some saying that consuming around 0.1 liters per 1,000 kilometers is considered normal. Don't worry too much; just stick to regular maintenance: use full synthetic oil and change it every 5,000 km to reduce engine carbon buildup and seal wear. It's also essential to check the oil before long trips to avoid any issues on the road.

Having worked in car repair for over a decade, I've encountered several cases of oil burning issues with the 2021 Magotan in my shop, though much fewer than before. After the engine upgrade, the piston rings and valve stem seals have become more durable. Under normal low-to-medium speed driving conditions, oil consumption is low, but frequent high-speed driving may increase consumption. I recommend owners check their oil color: if it turns black or has an unusual odor, there might be a serious problem. Regular maintenance is key—don't skimp on oil costs, as excessive burning can lead to insufficient lubrication and accelerated part wear. Timely inspections at professional shops can also save money in the long run.

I drive a 2021 Magotan for daily commuting, and the oil burning issue isn't as bad as the rumors say. The key lies in maintenance: change the oil and check the oil level every six months, using certified oil can prevent problems. If you notice the oil level dropping quickly, it might be due to an aging engine or aggressive driving. I'm used to driving smoothly to reduce engine load. After the break-in period of a new car, the problem becomes much less noticeable. For safety's sake, don't ignore minor signs.
