OEM Volkswagen Engine oil

as long as it meets the VW 508 00/509 00 specification, it'll be fine which I think is 0w-20 and I \\*think\\* 5w-20

don't go beyond that, while it \\*may\\* not fuck the engine up, those 1.4Ts are REALLY picky (I had one in my Jetta Hybrid and anything past 5w-20 and she was angry )

Pros: meets VW specification
Cons: engine is picky

OEM Volkswagen Engine oil

If you are using VW original oil then stick to it and the service interval. 15 years 229,000km later mine is going strong. I did mess up by doing service at 15k km all these years. Sticking to 12k is best. Instead try iftex system D. Makes a very noticeable difference. More important I feel is changing the air filter more often. And compulsorily changing diesel filter every year.

Pros: stick to service interval, air filter change often, diesel filter change yearly
Cons: mess up by doing service at 15k km
Vehicle: Volkswagen Polo

OEM Volkswagen Engine oil

eu la cc ul meu 2.0 tdi cfgb am pus si 0w30 si 5w30. (0w30 ulei volkswagen si 5w30 fuchs si ravenol). vara, in blana pe autostrada, uleiul 0w30 atingea si 118-119 grade ceea ce e cam aproape de limita. 5w30 peste 114 nu trecea.

Pros: 5w30 mai rece
Cons: 0w30 atinge limita
Vehicle: BMW
Mileage: 151000 km
