Yeah I was kind of thinking along the same lines, especially here in CO once is stars getting really cold. Even if something happened and they wanted proof about the oil I have the receipts for the Rotella T6 from wally world. On top of that I'm not towing more than a couple dirt bikes, or...

Yeah shipping would probably make it expensive. Probably won't hurt the civic, I'll probably just use it in there.

After changing the oil today I'd say we got the updates. There is a 5w40 sticker and I had to use an impact to get my drain plug out from where some dumb*ss at the dealer I'm assuming used one to put it back in. I still have a case+ of good Mobil 5w30 from the VW that I was going to use on the...

Thanks, was hoping there was another way to find out. Hate going to the dealer for anything, sometimes though you have to do things you don't like doing. :)

We bought ours in Oct of last year, I am assuming it has had the flash updates done at the dealer before we purchased since it was late in the year and the 17's were already out. I do wonder though cause ours has less than 7k on it and the indicator is saying change the oil. I saw a post that...

Thanks, I'll have to measure my tube to be sure.

I see some talk about topside oil changes. I use to do this on my TDI through the dipstick tube, is that how it's been done on this truck?

I think that's true for any dealer. :)

Good to hear, I don't really trust the lifetime stuff on anything with fluid, but I'm guessing people will figure out how to change it (probably not cheap) if they haven't already. Anything else I've ever had that had lifetime anything I found out that lifetime to the car company meant 100K.

Thanks for the welcome and the info. I'll miss the 40+ mpg from the TDI (35 towing 5x8 trailer at 75), but VW screwed up so we had to find something else. I think we'll be happy with this truck, I know the wife will be since she has always wanted a truck. Time to start learning/figuring out what...

Hi everyone, we currently have a 2013 VW sportwagen TDI, that is going back to VW soon. Since we now live in CO we wanted something AWD/4WD and decided on this truck since it gets decent fuel mileage for a truck. Glad there is a place to learn about the truck and ask questions if needed.
