- 06 bug TDI, 2012 Jetta Sportwagon TDI bought back, 2017 Subaru XT; 2015 F150 Lariat with ecoboost 3.5, 99 Dodge Cummins 1 ton flatbed
I'm sorry, after reading many threads on oil types (I discovered I will not change oil at the current 5400 miles, (I will wait until 10k) and I will not use the oil I use in my 06 TDI Bug (Rotella 5-40 T-6 Synthetic).
I am thoroughly confused still on what oil to buy (for 2012 Jetta TDI Sportwagon), and where people are buying it. Is there newer regs from VW on oil (rather than the 507 that was mandated by VW)?
I live out in the Sticks, so usually when I fire up the Jetta, I drive 30 to 80 miles, or more. . .
I'm also wondering if the first 3 oil changes are still free (She (the salesgal) might have mentioned it but I was dealing with my wife's "New Car Panic".)
Also, what is the best Oil extraction unit (through the dipstick holder) and where is a good place to buy it. . .
(I should perhaps study the current threads further, but I have already spent a couple hours in confusion. . .)
Thank You, Dean
