I just got a TT, and in the owners book it says the car comes with 0w-30. It also says to run 5w-30 (that is what I have in my jetta 1.8t) I know that this is a thin oil for florida, and the guy at the auto parts store today said I shouldnt run it, I need 5w-40 (the book also says this is fine). What do you guys use.The Jetta and TT are my first turbo cars and I dont want to fubar anything up. I put the 5w-40 in and will see how the engine feels ove the next few days.

And dont flame me. I did a search and got one topic worth anything. and it still didnt answer my question.

Thanks.

 

I'm pretty sure 5w-40 is the oem oil audi uses... I'm in a hot climate and run 0w-40 myself.

 

Just make sure it's full synthetic!

 

Factory is 5w40 or mobil 0w40 all full synthetic.

 

use any of the list below

 

Thanks. And all I run is full synthetic. Where did you get that oil chart cincyTT? I didnt see it in my owners book, (if thats where it came from). I also checked the oil i have in my jetta and its 5w-40. (only done one change in it so far, so I couldnt remember)

 

i stole it from someone else. But its all the approved oils for all vw/audi/seat/skoda 1.8t engines
