    09 Passat, Pennzoil Platinum Euro 5w40, 7,825 mi

    I increased the OCI this time to 7,825 miles. Make up oil of less than 1/2 quart. Ran January through July so this oil has seen some extremes. Will switch back to Edge Euro 0w40 for the next few OCIs until a PP Euro deal comes about.

    Why not Castrol euro formula Ow40 at WalMart for around $23 on sale or a bit more not on sale? I did a $44 PP ultra euro change at 5k not worth it with such a short oci. So I bought 4jugs of the Castrol this spring for 5k oci. 2009 VW 2.0 tsi.

    VW transmission reliability

VW said it was lifetime fluid but in 2010 sent out a letter indicating a 40k service interval, now it should be 50k as in your manual. I...
