What kind of engine oil should a Volkswagen Golf Sportsvan 1.4T use?
1 Answers
Volkswagen Golf Sportsvan 1.4T uses 0W40 full synthetic engine oil. 0W40 performs well in cold starts during winter, especially suitable for northern winters. Turbocharged engines are best served with full synthetic oil, as it provides better engine protection and longer maintenance intervals, requiring service once a year or every 10,000 kilometers, making it hassle-free and convenient. Engine oil selection: Naturally aspirated engines have relatively modest requirements for oil quality and can use mineral oil or semi-synthetic oil. If the owner has a higher budget, full synthetic oil can be used. Compared to naturally aspirated engines, turbocharged engines have a more compact structure and operate under harsher conditions, requiring higher-performance oil with better fluidity. Full synthetic oil is the best choice. Brand selection: For lubricant brand selection, if you prioritize long-lasting oil performance, you can choose Mobil lubricants; if you value the oil's cleaning ability for the engine, Shell engine oil is recommended; if you need lubricants with strong oil film toughness, Castrol can be selected. For example, turbocharged engines are prone to carbon buildup during high-speed operation, so Shell engine oil with strong cleaning capabilities can be chosen.
