Subject:      engine oil change interval

I've got a Y2K New Beetle with 2.0 liter and changed to Mobil 1 at 1000 miles. Dealer did next change at 5K and I provided the Mobil 1 for that change. I told him that I had put in the synthetic at 1000 miles and nothing was said about voiding warranty. On a side note, it was raining the day I wanted to change the oil, so I took it to an oil-change place (one of the major chains) and they wouldn't touch it. Said they had been told that they couldn't service the cars at all while they were still under warranty. Another oil change place did it with no problem. Go figure.
