What type of engine oil is used in the Volkswagen Polo?
2 Answers
The 1.4L, 1.6L, and 1.4TSI gasoline engines of the Volkswagen Polo use engine oil that meets the VW50200 specification or is compatible with higher VW standards. Additionally, high-quality unleaded gasoline that complies with the GB17930 standard must be used. It is recommended to use genuine 5W-40 specification engine oil, with oil and oil filter replacements every 5,000 kilometers. Introduction to the Volkswagen Polo: 1. The spark plug model for the Volkswagen Polo is Bosch F7HER2. The new Polo's spark plugs are made of nickel alloy. 2. The Volkswagen Polo is equipped with either a Japanese Aisin 5-speed manual transmission or a 6AT automatic transmission. The manual transmission uses FAW-Volkswagen's original transmission oil, with the part number G067026A2, imported from Germany, each bottle containing 1L. The automatic transmission uses Mobil ATF3309 automatic transmission fluid, also in 1L bottles.
Regarding the question of what oil to use for the Volkswagen Polo, I think it's quite common. I drive a 2018 Polo myself and have always used 5W-30 synthetic oil, which must meet Volkswagen's VW 502.00 standard, as you can find in the manual. I commute a lot for work, so using better oil ensures the engine runs more smoothly and avoids overheating issues. I've also noticed that you need to be careful with temperature changes—thinner oil is better for starting in winter, while thicker oil prevents wear in summer. Change it every 5,000 kilometers or six months to develop a habit and save yourself from repair hassles. Never skimp on quality and buy cheap, inferior oil—engine damage can cost a fortune to fix. I recommend reputable brands like Castrol, which have a good reputation and high reliability. Overall, regular maintenance is key. If the oil goes bad, the car loses power, and keeping maintenance records is also crucial.
