All RIGHT. I GIVE UP. Since they change the oil at 600 miles in the exotic
motorcycle engines you mention in the other post, which I've quoted below,
then I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that VW does things exactly the
same way, and that you were the one who helped them develop the procedure.
Note to the original poster: It has always been my experience that the
manufacturers, with the possible exception of Chrysler, know their stuff
fairly well. It has always seemed especially true of the German motorcar
makers.
That being said, I think that this 600-mile guy is a super-genius, and I
withdraw every bit of advice I've EVER posted. Listen to him from now on,
and throw away the little manual that came with the car. You know, the one
with the service intervals in it.
