I was fortunate enough to purchase my father-in-law's bought new 2006 Jetta 2.5L. Oregon car. Never seen snow. Always garaged. Car is near perfect. Now has just over 25,000 original miles. VW dealer changed oil before I drove it back to Indiana. Castrol OE 5W40/Mann filter.
I just changed the oil and filter with a 4,432 OCI. Motul X-Cess 5W40/Mann filter. Sent oil to Blackstone for analysis. Came back great.
Jetta will not be driven in snow, stays in garage if weather/salt on roads. 50/50 city/highway driven. 5,000 miles per year.
Question: 5,000 mile OCI, or would you run longer? That's a year on the oil. Just wondering what you all think.
