Received a packet of information from the "Oil Sludge Settlement Administrator" including a notice of a proposed settlement of a class action lawsuit regarding the sludge problem affecting the 1.8T engines in some VWs and Audis.
At first, I thought it was just another class action scam where the lawyers got rich and all I was going to get was an insert for the owners manual and a sticker to put in the engine compartment with the "strong recommendation" that only VW spec 502 00 or equivalent oil be used in the engine.
But on reading the fine print, I see that I'm also entitled to a one-time $25 credit toward an oil change within one year of the final settlement, whenever that might be.
Now I can afford to really celebrate New Years eve!
