#11052 of 12742 10k oil change by 8u6hfd Apr 29, 2003 (10:49 am)
I do.   vocus has a 1.8T, so he has 5k oil changes.

So, since I have the 2.0 and the owners manual says to change the oil every 10K miles after the 10K service...you are saying that I should just wait until 20K mile mark? I currently have 14,100 miles. I just can't imagine going 10K miles between oil changes....but that what VW recommends.

I do (with the TDI), and if anything, I would guess that what they tell you to do in the manual is conservative, because why would they want an artifically long interval? It doesn't benifit them at all. I have heard of people going as far as 20,000 miles, with an oil analysis proving that it is safe to do so.   I definitely agree that it is very different, I was used to going 3,000-4,000 miles in my previous car, so 2.5 times as long almost begins to feel like you aren't taking care of it anymore.

Follow the manual and if you have records to prove it then you've got nothing to worry about. VW's not going to put you on a path that will destroy their car. They want it back in good condition.

That is true.....

"It seems like you just don't like ANY cars. Maybe you should just build your own, then you wouldnt have anybody to complain to."   When I read his first post, I was about to say "We need to build a blueguy car."   ....If that is even possible.   No point on being here just to bash the car, it's a losing battle and not worth your time. Trust me on that.

I bash so others can have one more POV of the Jetta that isn't shiny happy like 99.99% of the views in here. Bash a Jetta, go to jail kinda mentality in here. And that's with Justin (the king of Jetta defenders and now defectors) gone!   Does anyone know if he did buy his Miata?

Ohhkay, let's move on now please.   We are not here to talk about each OTHER, we are here to talk about the Jetta. There is no rule that says "only positive comments are allowed."   All are welcome to share their experiences with the subject vehicle - good bad or indifferent - as long as the messages conform to the terms of the Membership Agreement.   If you don't like what someone else has to say, just skip it - it's really that easy.   Thanks.
