Just some info, North American VWs don't use the variable service intervals (VW502.1 oil I think), like our ROW counterparts. I've got 2100 miles on my GTI and it was full to the mark this morning. I'm planning on doing a change in the next week or so and another at 5000, then following the regular service intervals in the book. I'm doing this to get rid of any breakin contaminants.
