Default whatever's left over at mcdonalds... seriously, they use cheapo non-synthetic oil
I refuse to call it "dino oil" because the oil comes from petroleum created from ferns and other plantlife that existed well before the dinosaurs were around.

can you bring your own oil and ask them to use it?

Default ....your own oil?
Yes, you can bring your own oil. I've been bringing my own synth for the Jetta and this car for a couple years, but you'll not get any kind of credit.

Default Depends on dealer.
I get billed for labor only, how can they bill me for Oil when I bring my own?

If I had some safe way to get the car up, I would change it myself, like all my other vehicles I've owned. She just sits so low to the ground

Perhaps Santa will bring me something to remedy that this coming Xmas.

Default Not all dealers...
Pacific Audi in SoCal uses Mobil 1 synthetic. I've seen them put it in my car.

Default You're probably right, but it's funny how my dealer also sells Porsche which endorses Mobil-1....
Wonder if they use the el' cheapo oil in the Porsches as well.
