  Wife did the same thing on her first drive of the Jetta with the new 
engine. 
Oil pump was marginal so when the buzzer came on and she couldn't see 
any black on the dipstick, she added a quart.  It came on again, still didn't 

see black on the dipstick, added another, gave up and started home.  
Hit the highway and awa-y-y-y-y she went!  Drained two quarts of clean 
oil out and all was well.
