Change it every 10k miles. You have to use 5W40 FULL SYNTHETIC oil. Not just any oil! You can buy Shell Rotella T 5w40 or Mobil1 5w40 Turbo Diesel Truck oil at Walmart. Both of these oils meet VW's TDI oil requirements.

I've been told that although the original specs for the MKIV were for 5w40 when it comes to the full synthetics 5w30 is a better viscosity

either is fine however
