Volkswagen Golf 1.6 is recommended to use original semi-synthetic engine oil with a specification of 5W-40. This type of engine oil is beneficial for the car's engine. The importance of engine oil: Currently, many engines use engine oil because it allows the engine to operate better and also helps extend the engine's service life. The engine is like the heart of a car. Whenever there is a problem with the engine, it can be very frustrating for the owner as it usually affects normal driving. Engine oil requirements for Golf 1.6: For naturally aspirated engines like the Golf 1.6, the requirements for engine oil are not high. Mineral oil or semi-synthetic oil can be used. If the consumer's budget allows, fully synthetic oil can also be used. Compared to naturally aspirated engines, turbocharged engines have more precise internal components and operate in more complex conditions. They require higher-grade lubricants with better fluidity, preferably fully synthetic oil.
