10000 mile check up question
I'm @ 9 months but only 5000 miles on my 1.8, and the oil's looking dirty. I topped off at 3000, but otherwise have had no problem. Should I set up the appt now (realizing it will likely be at least 2 weeks before they get me in) or sit tight til at least 7500 miles?
I know, I know. I need to drive more.

by far the best way to go with the 1.8T IMHO. If you want a quick & dirty education on oils, do a search for Audi Junkie's post (more like a doctoral dissertation) on the various types of synthetic oils and how they differ.
