Hi, I changed engine oil at 3K and the dealer shop used "Pennzoil".
Do you guys think this is 10W-30?:w00t:

Why did you change the oil at 3k when the manual says first oil change at 10k??? Should I have my oil changed... I have just over 3k miles on the new ride??? Yeah, I thought 5W-30 was what was recommended???

Theres a reason why you wait till 10,000 miles.

Google VW approved list

Also I had a 1.8T engine before my GTI (2.0T) and I am SURE 0-240 full syn is approved.

it was not free, I spent about $60 for oil, oil filter change and washer added.
And they gave free general inspection.


Shouldn't the dealership notify first that the 1st (free) oilchange is not necessary before the first 10k miles?

Why at 3,000 miles???
Is it because 40 years ago that was the norm??
