Hey Everyone,
The preamble: 2015 Golf Sportwagen, bought April 2017 new - one of the held back models until the legal stuff was organized.
Had oil change completed at dealer January 2018 at 11000km. Dealer puts sticker on car - oil change due June 2018 - 23,000 km.
Car has as of today July 2018- 18,000km on car. Get a call from dealer today... "Car need to come in for 6 month oil change".
As far as I'm concerned I have 5000 km to go before oil change & will do that this month within summer trips.
VW Canada... suggests 15000 km between oil changes.
SO... What do I do? I feel the dealer is just playing me.... ( had a few issues last service oil change)
But most importantly, what is the best for my TDI... And am I missing something?
A few local VW garages can also give me some good service in lieu of the dealer.
thanks...

ps ... worked on all my mk1\2\3\4 Vw Diesels. Wanna play the new car game... but to what extent?
