It is amazing that the owners of all TDI VW's have no issues with going 10k
intervals. But you can't get the general public to extend their 3k intervals
at all, even though today's oils can go a lot longer than 3k.

Changing oil in the Golf TDI is the same as on everything else.  Pull the
belly pan, drain oil, replace filter, replace drain plug, fill with fresh
oil.  Make sure to use 5W40 synthetic (Wal-Mart sells Shell Oil that meets
the spec).

I've done my own oil changes on the Golf since I bought it.  I'm about to do
the 20th one.  My how time flies.  I really like the 10K mile interval.  It
makes it a lot less of a hassle.
