Nothing cheap or insured about it, Young oils cause more wear, due to fresh DP surface competition, too frequent an OC generates massive waste across the country and exposes the risk of dry starts and VVT mechanism , jamming and damage.
I was a 4- 5k OC guy I've changed and the Car is happier, the Planet is happier and my Bank Account is happier.
_____________ Try it, you'll like it !
*This is an INCORRECT statement to make for extending OCI's for a TGDI engine as by 5K miles the oil is usually shot with increased intake valve deposits looming - flat out , TGDI engines are hard on oil thus no blanket statements extending OCI's need apply for these engines .
So the 10K/ 1 year VW recommended interval for my Jetta will blow the engine under their long warranty?
Show me speadsheet and a LOT of data points and I might moderate.
But NEW engines may show high fuel dilultion, only after 10k - 15 K is the UOA worth looking at.
