I'm suprised they allow you to do that.

Why the surprise?

Try Schaeffer, awesome oil, I use it in my impreza and imo I think it out performs Mobil 1 noticeably.

How do you know if one oil "out performs" another oil?

They will loose the mark up on the oil and filter. That means less profit for them.
Next step is to change the oil yourself under their supervision using your tools and save the labour cost. Just pay for the use of the lift.

Well I used mobile one religiously and the car was always alrite, I switched to Schaeffer and with just an oil change I noticed a performance increase that I never got with Mobil 1, after that I did a lot of research on Schaeffer and they really impressed me, awesome oil.

Can two synthetic motor oils of the same spec but different branding cause a difference in power output?

Going for third service shortly, will update my experience
How you find your rear shocks perform Pablo? I have mine doing 6500 and I find I am feeling every bump in the road. Really looking at changing them. How much did your 10k service cost and what did they do/change?

Changing shocks so soon in a new car? Something have to be wrong there. Take it back.

2017 VW Amarok 3.0 V6 - to be confirmed
2017 VW Passat 1.8TSI Highline - $415k
Anybody wishing to get this Passat in favour of the starter 3-series, C-Class, A4 or XE will be making a good decision.
