You can use it but it must be changed on a regular basis, fixed service schedule so every 8-10,000 miles.

If you are on longlife then you will need to stick to the correct VW longlife spec. Something like VW504.00

Cheers

Guy.

Approx every 13_000 to 16_000 km. For these purposes;_

km = miles * 8 / 5 and miles = km * 5 / 8 or:-

km = miles / 0.625 and miles = km * 0.625 if you have a calculator (the one in Start -> Programs -> Accessories on a Windows box is good enough).
