    Oil change interval

    I'm sure this has been done before, but I can't find a reference to it.

    2002 D2 td5 auto, 100,000km. What is the recommended oil change interval?

    I do almost all sealed road driving, I'm always within the speed limit (ie up to 110kph) and use Penrite semi synthetic oil (cant think of the number).

    Some people tell me 10,000km, some 20,000. The latest guy to do an oil change suggested 5,000km (on the windscreen sticker)

    Any ideas folks?

    I believe the book says 20k km's.
    Most do 10k km's, which for the TD5 having such a good filtration built in will be fine.
    In my old tdi, I do every 5k km's because I also do a lot of stop/start city driving.

    Have being told by a dealer it was every 20,000km. Bugger that, I plan to get it changed every 10,000 with a new centrifugal filter.
