the synthetic engine oil is better nowadays than before so 15 000km and if you drive far even 20 000km is usually acceptable, but there is a reason why most modern engines are pretty much ready for the heap at only 250-350 000km (other than bad computer boxes) |
They really do. The 1.2 and 1.6 TDI for example, both have a 30.000km or 2 year interval. OK, it's synthetic long-life oil, but still. I prefer fresh oil more often for my car, so I do it in half.
