Well, this is happening every where. I have an Audi TT, the recommended
service interval is 10,000 miles, yes 10,000 miles after the initial
one at 5,000 miles. After being told this my GF damn near had to
hold me from falling over. A gentlemen who is in another office at
work has a new Jaguar and it has the same 10k miles service interval.

Synthetic oil is good, but is it that good, especially in the TT
(with Turbo) or in a mocycle with wet clutch/gear box?
