I’ll stick with every 5,000 miles, thank you.
My goal is to ensure that the engine lasts as long as possible, NOT to ensure that the oil lasts as long as possible.
I hate machines that think for me. I’m still wrestling with the fact that my car won’t let me use the defrost vents without it taking the liberty of turning the AC on. I used to push hot air onto the windshiend to help remove ice. Now it’s more diffiicult to do that.
Re: “VW/AUDI had issues around 2000-2002 when they over sold their cars and had too few service centers with approved oil.” I think I found the nitwits. They’re working at VW/Audi!
By the way, I’ve been banging around this site long enough to be able to (with the utmost confidence) testify to OK4450’s knowledge of all things engine. He’s massaged more cylinders than most of us have ever seen.
