My plan is to go 10K on oil and filter. This usually ends up being in the 9k+ range when i can find a convenient time and not risk going over.
I ask because the Euro Indy shop near me advises everyone to go 5k. He is a well respected shop/tuner.
I ended up doing my own service because it 'only' cost me $65.
Dealer charges $100
Indy charges $90
Stay with 10K. I see your using the correct 508.00 oil. With that certification, VW recommends 18k I'm Europe. Of course that's on better quality fuel. However on my Current 9k OCI, my oil is still golden brown...Shockingly! Like how a normal car looks after 6K. IMO, a 5K OCI is a waste of money. Now, I could see going a shirt 5K OCI on full SAP oil to reduce amount of carbon and contaminants.
