What kind of engine oil should be used for Golf VII 1.4T?
1 Answers
Volkswagen Golf 1.4T generally recommends using original semi-synthetic engine oil with a specification of 5W-40, but it is best to use fully synthetic engine oil. The Volkswagen Golf has a high engine power, resulting in high internal engine temperatures during operation. Using high-viscosity engine oil can protect various engine components and provide cooling and lubrication. Due to different ingredient ratios in various engine oils, their protective focuses vary. Generally, for long-term urban driving, Shell engine oil is recommended as it has good self-cleaning properties and can effectively remove carbon deposits in the engine. For long-term highway driving, Mobil engine oil is recommended for its excellent high-temperature resistance and stable performance. In northern regions, especially in winter, Castrol engine oil is suggested because its magnetic protection function can effectively safeguard engine components during cold weather. It is generally advisable to choose engine oil with a grade of 5W-40 or 5W-30.
