QG0/QG2/QG3 or QG1 vehicles coded to non-flexible interval
Oil change service:
every 15,000 km or 1 year
QI1 Oil change service (fixed): every 5,000 km or 1 year
QI2 Oil change service (fixed): every 7,500 km or 1 year
QI3 Oil change service (fixed): every 10,000 km or 1 year
QI4 Oil change service (fixed): every 15,000 km or 1 year
QI1, QI2, QI3, QI4, QI7
Interval service (fixed): every 30,000 km or 2 years
QI1, QI2, QI3, QI4, QI6, QI7
Inspection service:
after 3 years or max 60,000 km, then every 2 years or 60,000 km
Flexible service interval display (only vehicles with a flexible service)
Calculation of service intervals:
♦ The service intervals on vehicles with a flexible service is calculated. Input values such as, distance travelled, fuel con‐ sumption, oil temperature and loading on diesel particulate filter are evaluated by the control unit.
♦ The result of the evaluation is a measure of the deterioration of the oil due to thermal load.
♦ Oil deterioration is the decisive factor in determining the dis‐ tance that can still be driven before the next service.

Sorry.. should have posted this earlier. It's on the sticker on the right of the spare wheel recess. You'll see the VIN, engine code and then a bunch of PR numbers. Just look for the "Q" number.
Bunny I'm not sure if it's the same for the Jetta.
I know it's normal for the engine to consume some, but I find 1 qt every 3500 km sounds like a lot. Thats basically 20% of your oil ....... meaning that you have to add 3 quarts between your oil changes?!
