Good morning All,
  I see on the list that there are some people like me who have purchased a
new VW recently.  I have a 1998 Beetle.  I have always changed oil in new
cars at 1K, then 3K and then every 3K interval after that.  I talked to the
service manager at the dealer when I bought my car and told him that I was
thinking about changing my oil in the new Bug at 1K then at 3K and then let
them do the free oil change at 5K and so on (The recommended oil change
interval on the new 2L gas VW engines is at 5K, 10K and then every 10K after
that).  He said to me when I told him what I planned to do, an emphatic "NO.
  It will void your warranty.  These engines were designed to go 10K between
oil changes."  Is any one else out there worried about this?  Thanks.
  Rich and Annemarie
85 GL "Buba"
98 Bug
