it is my sister 02 passat turbo w/ 86k...there is crud underneath oil cap too, it burns a qt every 5k now...she hasnt changed oil (synpower 5-40) in 9k so i was wondering how long engine will last till it starts acting up from her "maint" schedule?...she goes at least 8k between oil changes and would probably never change if not for me, husband wont even change oil anymore on his 310k camry, just adds from jug of supertech i bought him...i changed the filter on that car awhile back....my dipsticks look very good on a 09 pontiac and 07 focus with 28 and 66k respectively
