What oil for GTI?

Post by TheRacingRat »

Hi guys I want to buy some oil incase I need to top up but a bit confused! Some seem to say 0/20 where as others say 5/30 or even 5/40. I planned on changing the oil every 10k regardless of time. TIA.

I did 3 changes already and used Millers oil XF Longlife VW 0w20. My GTI don't burn any oil so I will stick with it for a while. :) But you can always go to nearest dealer and order 1 liter bottle of VW oil by specs of your car. VW sells it for like 700CZK so around 15-20 pounds I guess. :)

Mine was 1yr serviced with 5w30. When I took delivery of my car it also came with a 1ltr 5w30 top up oil.
