    Would it make any difference if we supplied the synthetic oil?

    Maybe.

    If it's not the correct oil, they'll be less-inclined to use it.

    But is it cheaper if we buy the right oil?

    Sorry, which oil?

    The engine oil, or the DSG oil?

    It's the DSG oil that is the expensive item right?

    It costs $24 per litre - retail in Melbourne

    I did my own 60k service, ~$250 in oils/parts, DSG oil was the biggest cost for sure

    Yeah, don't buy it from the dealer.

    There's other places around that sell it.
