On the older 1.6 VW N/A IDI's the the Oil Change Interval 3000, or 5000 miles? I am currently running synthetic, but it is the first I have used synthetic in it. I am getting close to the 3000 mile mark, so it had me wondering.....

5k is fine, some go all the way to 10k. Depends on a lot of highway or short trips really.

I may try and push it farther in the future. I may go for 5000 this time, since its the first change from dino, not sure what the PO used, so this is an assumption. With 300,000 on the car, I am sure there is some "stuff" it has cleaned out.... that needs to come out, instead of wandering around in there.....
