I think both these statements are true- modern oils degrade only very slowly over time, but fresh oil is better.I do around 7k annually in the golf- an annual service is sufficient imo.So what should you do with an older engine doing low mileage and with modern oils? I will be doing my 3rd oil change in 2 years and 5k miles in my 32 year old Pug.Probably too much, but it makes me feel good!
Yeah, mine is black when I’ve changed it, though it looks pretty clean on the dipstick.How many miles on your mk5?
Wow, barely run in then! Sounds fantastic.
Along the same lines as preventative oil changes what does everybody think about using injector cleaner regularly?
