But only the 15w/30 ESP one, none of the other Mobil oils are VW approved.Sorry typo, should have said 5W/30 ESP ... will correct in my original post. :embarassed:

My car is on long life services, but some one recommended to get the oil changed every 8k miles rather than 20k. I use a 5w 40 oil which fits vw spec for normal services is this ok?
