> When I first started working for VW back in the '60's VW wanted the oil > changed every 1500 miles, not 3000, just for that reason. > That's right, 1,500 miles cost 7/6d (about £0.38 or 50c in today's money) plus the local cost of the oil. For that they also oiled the door locks and greased the 15 grease nipples (12 on front axle assembly and tie-rod ends, pedal cluster(1), handbrake cable outers (2). They certainly earned their 7/6d.
