What type of oil should be used for the Sagitar 1.2T?
1 Answers
The Volkswagen Sagitar 1.2T and 1.4T models both use 5W40 (5L) fully synthetic oil, with a replacement interval of 15,000 kilometers. Below are specific methods for selecting engine oil: 1. Performance selection: If you prioritize long-lasting oil performance, Mobil oil is a good choice; if you focus on engine cleanliness, Shell lubricants can be used; for strong oil film toughness, Castrol is recommended. 2. Driving conditions: For frequent driving in congested areas, older vehicles, or long-distance heavy-load transportation, the viscosity of the lubricating oil can be appropriately increased. 3. Engine type: For naturally aspirated engines, mineral oil or semi-synthetic oil can be used. Compared to naturally aspirated engines, turbocharged engines have a more compact structure and operate under harsher conditions, requiring higher-grade lubricants with better fluidity, preferably fully synthetic oil.
