What type of engine oil is used in the Volkswagen Golf?
1 Answers
Volkswagen Golf uses engine oil with the specification 5w40. In 5w40, the 'w' stands for winter, and '5w' represents the viscosity of the oil under low-temperature conditions. '40' is an indicator of the oil's high-temperature resistance, representing the kinematic viscosity of the oil at 100 degrees Celsius. The higher this number, the higher the viscosity and the stronger the oil's ability to withstand high temperatures. The oil change capacity for the Volkswagen Golf is 4 liters, using semi-synthetic oil, with a replacement cycle of 10,000 kilometers. The Volkswagen Golf is a compact car under FAW-Volkswagen, with dimensions of 4296 mm in length, 1788 mm in width, and 1471 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2636 mm. In terms of suspension, the front suspension of the Volkswagen Golf is a MacPherson strut independent suspension, and the rear suspension is a torsion beam non-independent suspension.
