Would that account for the rise in fuel consumption after the first service? Would it do any harm to keep the engine on 0W20?

 

Oil type aside, even before the use of 0W20 there have been regular threads on increased fuel consumption after a service over the years.

Time and various drivers that use cars day in and day out and over the seasons and years will tell the affect of having a GPF.

Will the vehicle have to be cleaning that GPF more often as the miles go on and when will the first VW Group cars with GPF's been needing new ones.

The Mk3 Fabias might be among the earliest that will have owners knowing.

Will it be low mileage drivers, short trip users, town drivers or longer out of towners that notice?

I read the oil going dirty/dark quickly on the TSi engine now, like diesels do, is because the engine has direct injection. Nothing to do with the GPF.

My Superb 280 does it and my wife's CTR FK8 does it also. 

Just so as we all know...what on earth is a `CTR FK8`?

Honda Civic Type R. Clue is under wife's car to the left.

There seems to be a mix up of engines and technologies in this thread:

The OP's 2.0 TSI 190 is indeed a gen 3b EA888 engine that runs on the Budack cycle with the variable intake valve timing depending on the driving condition. It also features GPFs but those are further down the exhaust system and well outside of the combustion chamber.

The 2.0 TSI 272, despite coming out in 2019 and despite featuring GPFs, is not a gen3b engine and it runs the standard Otto cycle as the previous TSIs. Essentially, it is a light update of the gen3 EA888 for compliance with the new emission regulations achieved by the GPFs in the exhaust and (as a cost-cutting measure) the deletion of port injection.


Now, I would imagine the GPFs being where they are, are highly unlikely to affect the oil color/quality. As a matter of fact, In my recent oil service of my 272 at 12K km, the oil looked more or less like new, still of a golden-brown shade.

IF, the oil quality/color of the OP's car was affected by something my guess is it is down to the new cycle which as I said is only run by the 2.0 TSI 190 at the moment, not the higher output 2.0 TSIs. Even then, I would agree with others that the color alone might not mean much and could be looking like that simply due to the different operation of the engine but not necessarily meaning harm is being done somewhere.

Whoops, sorry, didn't look there.

I wont ask what the `FK8` stands for just in case that's just as obvious!

Think it refers to the Civic being the Mk8 version but I could be wrong having never owned a Honda.
