I am asking the same thing, they owe me $30 now!

Really?
I don’t think it’s a policy.

I thought VW use Long Life oil which is okay longer service interval (in Europe). I think oil wise it should be okay, the guy service it every 17k km. Only 2k more

Read your manual. It's all there.

If you don't understand the manual then take the advice given to you.

Why are you stretching the services to 17k? The service intervals in Australia are 12m/15k, whichever comes first. If you know anything about the difference between Australia and Europe in dust and pollen loadings and temperature variations you would understand why.

It is very likely that you are meeting one of the "severe service conditions" and therefore stretching the service intervals would be inappropriate. It's all in the manual. Go crazy, have a read.

f the OP cares to read his manual in the section about "Oil" it tells you to refer to the body sticker which is in the front of the service book in my car and it tells you which regime its under

EG MIne says Q14 which is "fixed service regime" as are ALL VW in Australia

Just take the advice given as its correct despite what you may think.

You asked for advice and now you question it.

We arent in Europe and its 15000km here

Ups I was actually posted my reply to the wrong thread.

Sorry I was replying to another post regarding a purchase of vehicle that had service history every 17k km.

Wow $30 for a litre of oil ?
I bought 5 litres of the 504/507 LL from Supercheap for $45 a few weeks back.

Yes, that $45 was on special price. 1L should be like $20, and according to someone here, it should be free to top up at dealer.

I was being sarcastic.

Why should the dealer give you free oil Once perhaps if the car is new

.
Working on that theory Woolworths should top up my groceries for free as well.

I got 10L of Titamium LL 504/507 for $75 a few eeeks ago because I found an ad online and shop honoured it even though it was possibly a mistake
