How does changing the oil more often than the factory engineers specify help? Set aside the few people who use their car as a taxi or in severe climates there is no reason to replace the oil any sooner than 10K/1 yr. The wear component of the oil is the additive package in the oil. It is good for a year after being subjected to the products of combustion. The oil specified by VW is actually better stuff than most synthetics sold by any maker. Mobil 1 that satisfies VW 502 has about 50% more additive than most other Mobil products. A lab like Blackstone is the only way to tell if your oil's additives are consumed. Anything else is just nonsense. You cannot look at the color, feel the oil, or smell it to determine it is time to change.
Some guys report better "peace of mind" by changing early. Even if you change your own oil, how is spending $40 twice as often giving you peace?
