What brand is the original engine oil for FAW-Volkswagen?
2 Answers
Volkswagen's original engine oil brands include Castrol, Shell, Valvoline, Mobil, and Great Wall, with Castrol being the most commonly used for various models. Related introductions are as follows: Castrol: Castrol Edge 5W30 fully synthetic oil is suitable for TSI-MPI-EA111-EA211 engines. Due to its lower viscosity compared to the white bucket oil, it is not suitable for EA888-G2 series engines. Volkswagen original engine oil grades: Volkswagen original engine oil is divided into three grades: mineral oil, synthetic oil, and fully synthetic oil. The base oils used vary in different regions; the engine oil used also differs depending on the engine model and the vehicle's driving environment. Fully synthetic oil, which is not blended with mineral oil, offers the best lubrication and cleaning effects for the engine, better high and low-temperature performance, a longer oil change interval, and stronger environmental adaptability. For turbocharged models, it not only enhances power output but also reduces fuel consumption.
I used to drive a FAW-Volkswagen car, and every time I went to the 4S shop for maintenance, they used genuine oil, which was the brand Fuchs lubricant. I curiously asked the technician, and they said it was the designated brand for long-term cooperation, meeting Volkswagen engine's strict standards. Fuchs oil has several different series, like TITAN GT1 Pro Flex, which is optimized for turbocharged engines to prevent carbon deposits and wear. I recommend car owners stick to genuine oil because there are many counterfeits that can easily damage the engine and also improve fuel efficiency. Regular oil changes are crucial, usually every six months or 8,000 kilometers, and check the manual for the specific viscosity based on the car model. Don't save money by buying off-brand oils, as engine failures can increase repair costs and compromise travel safety.
