What type of engine oil should be used for Volkswagen turbocharged engines?
1 Answers
For Volkswagen turbocharged engines, it is recommended to use 5W40 engine oil or 0W40 fully synthetic engine oil. A 40 viscosity grade is generally better suited for turbocharged engines, as the oil viscosity should neither be too high nor too low. Both excessively high or low viscosity can negatively impact engine performance and service life. Turbocharged engines are equipped with turbochargers, which also rely on engine oil for lubrication and heat dissipation. Within the engine, oil serves multiple functions including lubrication, cleaning, sealing, cushioning, rust prevention, and heat dissipation. Volkswagen, which translates to "people's car" in German, has undergone several logo changes throughout its history. The current logo features the letters "VW" (the initials of the company's full name) and resembles three "V" shapes formed by middle and index fingers, symbolizing the company's and its products' determination to succeed.
