geez man, because the dealership gets all titties about what oil you are using. its all the same color after 5k miles. a tech isnt going to look at dirty oil and be like, "EEE-GADS MATE, THIS IS 0w-30!! ZOMG!!"

A new GTI while not a large investment to some it is to most and worth protecting, and yes with a few simple tests can tell the type and viscosity of the oil used protecting the motor.
While I am not privy to engineering specifications for VW’s rational for their 502.00, 505.00, and 503.01 oil requirements I have to trust that they know just a little more then you do. :evil:
While I have a very nice 6 figure salary and could afford to replace my GTI power plant why should I if I have a factory warranty that will replace it for me, within limitations of course.
Shit!...6 figures.....hell I'm in the Army and I live off pb&j's and ramens. Must be nice......must be nice.:drool:

REALLY, and i mean REALLY shows no relevance to this thread. i can say my dick is bigger than yours in this thread, but nobody would probably give a shit about that either because it has NOTHING to do with this thread. sorry i exploded just reminds me of the evoms vs neuspeed intake, some guy was like "i work 2 jobs, but yea evoms is better". and i jsut kept thinking to myself, wtf does that have to do with this thread... anyway.
i was just saying that they wouldnt know the difference to void warranties if they just did regular oil changes chum. i never said i used non-vw approved oil, nor was i knocking on you. i was just trying to have a little laugh.
