Should the 2017 Passat use 5w30 or 5w40?
1 Answers
2017 Passat uses 5w30. The main functions of engine oil are to reduce friction and wear of moving parts, remove sludge (one of the functions of dispersants) and varnish (detergents) from the engine, neutralize acids produced by fuel and lubricant oxidation (detergents), improve the sealing of piston rings, and cool the engine by carrying away heat from moving parts. Taking the Passat 2017 280TSI DSG Zunya Edition as an example, its length, width, and height are 4872 mm, 1834 mm, and 1484 mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2803 mm, a curb weight of 1495 kg, and the body structure is a 4-door 5-seater sedan.
