Default How many quarts of oil does 1.8T take?

I did a search and couldn't seem to find this info. The reason I ask is that I brought my car in for 5k oil change to Mobil-1 and supplied a case of oil. When I got the car back I was expecting a quart or two left. I thought the 1.8T took 3.7 quarts? Anyone know?

3.7 - Why did you take a case of oil? Isn't a case 12 quarts?

If you read what he wrote.. you'll see he said, he took in a case (6) and the dealer gave him back 2.. meaning,, they used 4 quarts... It says it in the first sentence

Default What? I think you are reading the forum in the wrong order.

I replied to the original post not the one that was posted after mine by 'bootnet'. I can see into the future. And a case is usually 12 quarts - or at least it has been in the 20 years I have been buying oil.
