Hey Everyone, my name is Danny and am happy to have found a awesome TDI community like this one and look forward to learning from all of you and contributing where I can myself
I just picked up a 2015 Passat TDI directly from VW corporate (I have a dealer license) and I'm going to be keeping this one for myself. The vehicle only has 14 miles on it as it was one that didn't get sold before diesel gate broke.
MY QUESTION IS- would you guys change the oil before driving it?
I have read that the VW uses special break-in oil and I shouldn't touch it for the first 10K, BUT it has been sitting for 2+ years now. I'm just not sure I should leave it. But then again I am not a big truster of oils anyway as I would change it every 5K on my last TDI I owned and on my Bluetec Mercedes I have now.
Any advice is appreciated! Thanks!
