Default Yeah, that's kinda what I thought. Maybe, they're just charging the difference b/t M1 & dino???

Price seemed too low, compared to what I thought the cost of M1 would be... Hmmmm, I'll have to get some clarification on this. Maybe, it's just cheaper for them by the barrel or however they buy it - economies of scale and all...

Thanks, again, Larry!

I went to Costco and bought a six-pack of Mobil 1 ($21.99) and had the dealer put it in.

Default I got my car at Wallingford and had the first 3 services done there . . .

they also did my first set of fuel sending units. Their service department was top notch and treated me great. I always got an Audi for a loaner, A4 and A6 and one time I got a crappy Beetle!

You won't have troubles with them even if you "mod" your car. They used to show my mods off to customers looking at TT's.

Default no special break-in oil, just plain old synth from the factory . . .

I changed mine at 1,000 then again at 5,000. Been done every 5,000 since.
