Oil changes was Warranty Passat

[Suffolk GameServer LAN]

Not to start a how long and type of oil thread:
I read that several off lease A6's etc., VAG cars
like the 30V in particular where failing due to no compression.
It seems that someone posted here or at Audiworld
that the oil change time period seems crucial due
to the very thin weight oils used in these motors
and the close tolerances inside the motor.
Several of the off lease cars were just gased
and driven without regard to the oil changes or
service etc.
Contributing to this "problem"
Anyone have some concrete data regarding this?

I recently talked to the owner of a European parts
house in Mountain View- he had been a Mercedes
employee in Deutschland and seemed quite knowledgable.
Anyhoo, he pointed out that his Volvo turbo wagon gets
fresh Mobil 1 every 25,000 miles, and he's around
125,000 so far.
