[Golfwagon]

Hi guys...doing an oil change in my Golf mk5 2.0l...mileage 113 000km
Im not sure what grade oil is used..
Is it 20w50 multigrade..
15w40 semi synthetic.
10w50 synthetic...

Im not sure of which oil is highly recommended..from the above..
Any suggestions will be highly appreciated...

Thanks

Catrol 5w30 fully synthetic, the gold bottle, you can buy 5L from Makro. VW uses it in everything from a polo vivo to a golf GTI.

petrol 2.0? then make sure the bottle says 504.00 spec.

Sorry the gold bottle is 5w40, but it is what you need.

Thanks guys for the feedback...Its a 2.0l petrol...
Contacted VW today,spoke to one of their workshop technicians...They told me to use 10w40 synthetic oil...
I think they use different grade oil depending on the mileage of the vechile...
Long story short..i purchased a 5lt Castrol Magnatec 10w40 oil from makro today.
Engine sounds much more quiet....then before...

Is it a good idea to use 10w40 synthetic on my 1800 8v carb? iv heard that with a good synthetic oil and pro long/dura lube, my engine will run smoother n quieter? or is it better to use 20w50 multi grade? Sorry to jack your thread Golfwagon

Stick to 20w50, anything thinner like 15w40 will see you topping up oil frequently like I do...
