If you plan on getting a new car every 3 or 4 years - I guess it really dosen't matter - other than following the owners manual.
.
Regardless - I just can't follow this guide - even with the 8qt sump.
.
I will make the first change at 5k, 10k, 15k then every 71/2K there after.
.
Plan on using GC 0W-30.
.
Call me crazy - but, I just wouldn't be able to sleep at night following the once every 15k rule.
.
I use GC in my 1.8T and change every 4k - to give you some idea how
religious I am about oil changes.
