What kind of engine oil should be used for the Golf 1.4T engine?
1 Answers
For the Golf 1.4T engine, it is recommended to use fully synthetic engine oil with a specification of 5W-40. Below is an extended introduction: 1. Correct selection of engine oil: Engine oil is a crucial factor affecting engine performance and lifespan, so it is essential to use engine oil with the correct specifications. The quality of the engine oil must not only meet the requirements of the engine and exhaust purification system but also match the fuel quality. During engine operation, the engine oil is constantly in contact with combustion residues and fuel, which accelerates the aging process of the oil. There is a significant difference in the quality of engine oils available on the market, so caution must be exercised when selecting engine oil. The chosen engine oil must comply with the VW50200 standard, and high-quality unleaded gasoline that meets the GB17930 standard must be used. 2. Reasons for choosing this engine oil: The Golf 1.4T engine is a turbocharged direct-injection engine, and due to the high demands of the T, fully synthetic engine oil is required. The advantages of fully synthetic engine oil include strong oxidation resistance and resistance to contamination. In contrast, conventional mineral oil is more prone to contamination under high temperatures and has poor oxidation resistance.
