170,500 miles on the engine in the allroad.

Oil was in the car for about 2 months.

Air and oil filters - OEM

Relatively hard use, lots of trailer pulling with a/c on in 90+ weather, at 80+ mph. I'm moving, so the car was heavily loaded a lot. It has a manual transmission, and I try to remember to run it full-throttle to redline at least a couple times a month.

I saw the highest oil temp on the gauge so far in this car, up to about 275F indicated going up Homestake pass (multiple trips).

Oil level didn't drop perceptibly over the course of the OCI.

It thinned to a 30-weight, but other than that, it seems to have held up fine. Nice report, and nice to see a 2.7tt engine in good shape with relatively high miles.
