Do U.S. dealerships use Made in Germany Castrol or Made in USA?

took the car in a 10k to have them reset it but they had to leave it at 5k interval so it would poop up at 15k. 15k service they forgot to change it again, same at 25k although different dealer. 35 is almost due and i am going to leave a sticky note in the cluster to remind them

importing the Belgian 5W-40. Most dealerships only use the 5W-40 weight no matter what oil they use. This is the most prevalent 502 approved weight in synthetics. My dealer uses Agip PC which is an OK oil. The latest Castrol 5W-40 says "made from doemstic and imported" materials and mixed in the US. I bring the dealer my own oil and ask them for the empties.

My audi dealer here gives me free oil changes and mvi for life every 8000 km.

I just had the oil changed on my 2009 Boxster S at the Porsche dealer. I didn't enquire about the cost. The car was in for a few hours so I waited. Total cost was in excess of $400. Yes it was synthetic. Was that expensive? Yes. Was she worth it? Yes. My 07 GTI has 260,000 km on it. I change the oil every 16,000 km. That car drives like it is new. No need to change your oil every 5,000 km. I do need to check the oil level about every two weeks as the car drinks oil like a fat kid chugging on Coca Cola.
