[Vwdiesel] early oil change 09 Jetta

[Hayden Chasteen]

While it might have been advisable in the days before high tolerance engines 
and synthetic oil, to change the oil early, there is a reason VW has set the 
oil change interval where it is.  Your car came with VERY expensive 
synthetic oil that is formulated specifically for the oil change intervals 
necessary for your engine.  In fact, VW actually understates the mileage 
because we here in the US have been sold a bill of goods by the "change the 
oil every 3000 miles" quik lube places. My Mercedes diesel powered Jeep 
Grand Cherokee has a 12500 mile oil change interval and many BMWs don't have 
an oil change interval, they have sensors that read the oil properties and 
mileage and then the car tells you when to change the oil.  I have purchased 
and driven many TDIs from new according to the oil change interval and had 
no problems.  Besides, you would be wasting a lot of good oil and money.

Any ideas about an initial oil change at 1100 miles on a new 09 Jetta, all 
vehicles I have owned in the past I have changed the new oil early as the 
engine has broken in.
The owners manual states 1st oil change at 10,000 miles, I find this very 
optimistic.
