Hi,
My Audi 3.0 TDI V6 has a similar service regime, 18kish miles or two years, but it had to have specific long life oil, which is/was super expensive directly from Audi, but from VW Commercial less than half the price and that's retail price
Never really thought about the amount of miles it was doing between services but I would do the mileage in approx a year, though even if i didn't do the miles I would of still changed the oil yearly.
The car has done approx. 150k miles now and is still rattly and noisy as it was at 69k miles when it had FASH (3.0TDI V6 known to be quite noisy an agricultural, but what a lovely smooth engine to drive).
Crikey, £6!I buy that VW 507.00 and use it in the
I use that LongLife C3 VW 507.00 oil in the Merc and a Hyundai .
But I don't get ripped off with the price .

He won’t be online for a while he’s gone to hire artic.So how many did you buy when they were on sale at £6 for 5 litres?
It’s all relative.In the words of Scotty Kilmer (Find him on you tube)
Oil is cheap engines are not
At £6 for 5 litres.. he's not wrong...
How many engines die of lubrication related failure these days?
Service intervals have got longer, but engines and oil technology has moved on.
Gone are the days of rebores, decokes, crank regrinds and the like. In general, cars are in the bin due to costly ancillary failures or other issues (or are outdated!) well before the engines have worn out.
