the right oil and service history means everthing..... ive seen old vw/audi engines that have done at least 3 times as many miles as new vw engines and have had far less engine wear....

at he end of the day. its all about oil.. doesnt matter in some affect how many services its done, if the oils sh!t on each change then it will effect engine wear....
