Hi there,

What do you think? Applicable to our VW bug engines? Any recommendations?
Best wishes,
Oil change change of mind and heart, or oil tech improved?

oil changes
Good question for the technical bunch. However I change my oil by the visual method (If it looks clean it's OK). I have to qualify that by saying
with 7 cars in the household and 5 of them collector cars, it takes a long time to register even 3000 miles.
I think if it looks dark, that indicates dirt and contamination. then it's time to change it.

I live in Phoenix. I change my oil at 3000 miles or at 3 months if I don't put 3k on the clock. Here, there's constantly so much dust and crap in *everything* and oil doesn't manage much longer than that unless you have your car parked in a garage and hermetically sealed in a plastic bubble. Even my Dailies get oil changes on shorter than dealer suggested intervals.
