    Can't say i've ever seen that. More importantly, hope you're safe during those torrential rains and flooded streets.

    Bad News For Rivian

    Chinese auto makers are cranking out the EV equivalent to this 1974 Civic. Back then the opinion on these was, "it will never work here in the US". The EV furor beginning at the high$ end of the Consumer scale is turning out to be a mistake.

    Not a great conversation with my local Infiniti dealer today. Least they were honest.

    For those who received "a solid" from their dealerships during situations like this, that's great. But it isn't unreasonable when you receive nothing while out of warranty. If you keep moving up the chain, OP, i hope you're more successful finding resolution. Exception being if there was a TSB...

    Mixing 0w30 with full synthetic safe?

    Unfortunately, your answer doesn't lie with the oil. Nor would i go back to that dealership [that changed your oil with 10w30]. I would search for a proper independent shop specializing in euro vehicles.

    Mixing 0w30 with full synthetic safe?

    Mixing an API 10w30 with another API 0w30 won't cause an issue. But VW recommends VW502.00 approved oil regardless of the viscosity you find it in (typically a Xw40). Then again, that's probably only a recommendation and not a requirement.
