For Volkswagen's turbocharged engines, their internal structure is relatively precise, and the working environment is more complex, requiring higher quality oil with good fluidity. It is best to use fully synthetic engine oil. Additionally, turbocharged engines are prone to carbon buildup during high-speed operation. Fully synthetic engine oil outperforms semi-synthetic and mineral oils in terms of cleaning performance and other aspects. Below are six types of specialized engine oils from SAIC Volkswagen: 1. Gray Bucket D4-5W40 Mineral Oil: Suitable for EA111, EA211, and MPI engines, but must not be used in TSI engines. 2. White Bucket Z4-5W40 Semi-Synthetic Oil: Suitable for TSI, EA888G2, EA888G3, EA211, and EA111 full-series SVW-TSI-MPI engines. This is the original factory engine oil. 3. Castrol Edge 5W30 Fully Synthetic Oil: Suitable for TSI, MPI, EA111, and EA211 engines. Due to its lower viscosity compared to the white bucket, it is not suitable for EA888 and G2 series engines. 4. Gray Bucket Premium 5W30 Fully Synthetic Factory Oil: Reportedly a Volkswagen-repackaged version of American Valvoline oil, suitable for TSI, MPI, EA111, EA211, and EA888G3 engines. Due to its lower viscosity compared to the white bucket, it is not suitable for EA888 and G2 series engines. 5. Mobil 1 5W30 Fully Synthetic Oil: Suitable for TSI, MPI, EA111, and EA211 engines. Due to its lower viscosity compared to the white bucket, it is not suitable for EA888 and G2 series engines. 6. Brown Bucket Preferred 5W40 Semi-Synthetic Oil: Must not be used in TSI engines. It is an upgrade of the gray bucket and is suitable for EA111, EA211, and MPI engines.

How Often Should Shock Absorber Top Mounts Be Replaced?

Shock absorber top mounts do not have a fixed replacement interval. Replacement is necessary if the following failure symptoms occur: 1. Abnormal noises: When severely worn or damaged, the vehicle's shock absorbers will produce unusual sounds during operation. 2. Steering deviation: Damaged top mounts may cause slight steering misalignment, difficulty in returning to center position, and reduced return force. 3.
