   That sounds crazy, but times change. I drove Rabbit Diesels all through the   
   80s and early 90s, and probably put 200,000 miles on them at the time. I was   
   told to change the oil religiously because a Diesel could suck oil past the   
   rings easier than a gas engine (because of the higher compression ratio)   
      
   I think I did 5000 miles as a lazy college kid.   
      
   Now, I'm driving a Prius, which takes synthetic 0w-30. The manual said to do   
   a tire rotation at 5K and another tire rotation and oil change every 10K, now   
   I do one tire rotation and oil change at 7.5k. I've got a mechanic I trust   
   who's cheaper than the dealer, so it ends up being cheaper in the long run.
