Just keep the right viscosity oil in it and monitor the oil temp. You might be able to read oil temp from you ECU through the obd port. 120-130C is very ok with good synthetic oil.

I blew up a VW polo with the wrong oil and high oil temps.

Pros: good synthetic oil ok

Cons: wrong oil high temps

Vehicle: Volkswagen Polo
