Lol, that's past STOCK service intervals, yours should be done MAX every 4 or 5k....
Stock is 6k, these engines wash their oil with diesel so fast its crazy, after 8k if you smell the oil it'll STINK of raw diesel...
The whole idea you can use crappy Total Quartz and change it at stock intervals with an engine running almost 160% stock power is rediculous, they need high quality Ester Synthetic oils with good detergents... Ill bet you if you had a GTi6 running 250hp you wouldn't be putting in shiity semi synthetics and leaving it 15k miles... And they don't dilute their oil, nor do they pulverise it due to the high cylinder pressures...
