You can purchase Mobil 1 European formula only as it meets the VW/Audi specification of 503.000, 0-30 weight for engines of 180 BHP or less. Some people have said that some of the Amsoil will meet this specification. Whatever sythenic oil you purchase, make sure that on the label it states meets VW/Audi specification 503.000 or 503.001 on the label. If it does, then you can buy it.

2000 VW new Beetle uses a lot of oil, but has no leaks, oil fouls sparkplugs

Do you have the turbo model? If so you could have a bad turbo. You may also have bad valve seals or piston rings. If you have a turbo you can remove the hose or pipe off of the outlet side of your turbo between the turbo and the intake manifold. If there is oil in it your turbo is leaking and will need repaired.

I just bought a 2000 beetle turbo ,it has 70,000 miles on it the person which I bought it from has kept really good care of the car ,what should I consider doing to it maintance wise , since it just turned...

first thing on a turbo, do an oil change using full synthetic oil. If you can, plan on replacing plugs and plug wires, replace antifreeze, and check brake linings. VW Beetles are tough to work on (little room), and it would also be a good idea to check hoses and belts, cleaning the engine.

I have a 2000 beetle 1.8 turbo the turbo makes a noise after 3000rph and alot of white smoke starts to come out from exhaust.

This sounds like you have a seal that is failing under the stress of high engine and turbo rotor rpm's, the white smoke is oil burning, either in the exhaust stream or it's oil getting into the intake stream and being burned with the fuel..
You can remove the turbo yourself but you may not be able to locate the issue.
I would advise that you take the vehicle into a turbocharger specialist..

What kind of oil should I put in my 2000 VW new beetle?

The proper oil weight should be printed on the oil refill cap located under the hood. It's likely a 20 weight oil in the New Beetle.

Should their be oil coming into the turbo?

Simple answer NO,, the valve stem oil seals are your only safe guard to leakage from the valves. Any excessive oil will be taken into turbo and pressurised and you may see signs of leakage at pipework ducting in the form of a vapour or oil stains. Good luck

What type of motor oil should i use?

A stock 2000 Maxima engine is non-turbo and 5W30 oil is recommended by nissan. As the mileage on the engine increases, you should switch to a heavier weight oil, like 10W40.

WHAT OIL IT NEEDS MY 2000 VW BEETLE 2.0 L WITH 140000 MILES

I found 2 listings for the 2.0L engine, A and B. The 'A' had no info on oil type, the 'B' stated all temperature ranges require type 'SJ' and 5/30 or 5/40 weight. Because the mileage is 140k, I am wondering how often you must add oil between changes. If you add none, or under a quart, 5/30 is ok, if you must add oil more often, use the heavier weight, 5/40.

Oil pressure light comes on when I put the car in motion (at about 2000 rpms)

all turbo engines have a oil line to the turbo. If it is not getting oil the turbo will burn up and have to be replaced. Change your oil and filter to start with.
