I now run this LIqui Moly 5w-40. Seen a blackstone lab test on a VW forum where it had 1200+ PPM of zinc even after 7000 km of use. I like how it keeps the acid in oil level at bay better than most other oils I used except Driven LS30 which also did a great job at that. 2 5 liter bottles for $75.

I change my oil every October which is the month I purchased the car , I only put about 1000 miles a year on it so I just keep it simple and do it every October

I drive all highway, no short trips. So I run a full synthetic (Usually Mobil 1 extended performance) and change around 7,500.

I run Amsoil dominator oil with their extended mileage filter and I change it at 3k-5k miles. 60k miles on my car and 10k since I put the nightfury cam in.

I changed the oil when getting the car initially at 700 miles, and will be doing 5k intervals in the future.
