thought the below was interesting, from the passat list... this lady has a
2002 passat and she had the oil changed ONLY 3 TIMES IN 55,000 MILES, and she
wonders why her engine blew up..

------------snip------------
Dealer says: "replace engine, not under warranty"2002 Passat 20
months old, 55,000 miles. At 12 months got "STOP. Turn off engine.
Oil Pressure" message on dash. Dealer replaced oil pump under
warranty.

At 20 months, same message. Dealer says sludge in engine from not
changing oil enough ( 3 times in 20 mos/55,000 miles and the two
recommended maintenance visits were done) Warranty won't cover.
Replace engine.

Does this sound right to you?
