Pretty sad, isn't it?

Guys, VW can't invalidate your warranty for using a non-recommended oil. If they chose to deny a warranty claim due to your use of a non VW approved oil, in court they would have to (1) establish that the claim was due to an oil related problem, and (2) the problem was specifically caused by the oil used.

Maybe I overlooked it, but I dont remember anything specific regarding the oil keeping with the VW/Audi recommended drain intervals (10 000 miles).
Just wondering if this oil is able to go for that long, or will it have to be dumped prematurely?

Well I finally went to the RLI website to see how much the BioSyn will cost me. $35 for the gallon of 5w40HD isn't bad, but then a whopping $20 for shipping!!! Yikes

Yeah, they are going to seriously have to reevaluate their shipping charges. There is something wrong when shipping practically doubles the price of the product.

Isn't there a hazardous materials surcharge when shipping motor oil via UPS or Fedex, thus driving up the cost? At Summit Racing there is a $21 hazmat surcharge on ground shipping of Redline oil.

The suggestion of us TFSI owners combining efforts in using oil analysis records for these engines is a good one. I'm ready to participate and do my part.
