VR6 Maintenance Schedule

[Deuce]

Just noticed the online maintenance schedules are every 16,000km (10,000mi) instead of the usual 8,000km (5,000mi) that I was used to with my 1.8T.

Question: For the VR6 owners on here, what distance and/or length of time do you go between changes?

Cheers... Deuce.

Re: VR6 Maintenance Schedule

Depending on how hard you drive and what kind of driving is mostly being done, but I would still change it at a maximum interval of 8000kms. I have done my synthetic oil changes on my VR every 5000 kms because I like to drive "spiritly" from time to time.

You mean there are other ways to drive a VR6?!

P.S. Me too. Every 5,000mi and Synthetic.
