What oil do you put in your car 0/30w or 5/40w. Are you on the long life regeme ( 2 years/20 00miles )or time and distance ( 1year / 10 000miles)?
VW says 0/30w for long life especially 2.5R and V10 because of the geartrain in the back of the engine , and 0/30W oil for diesel particulate filters.
So if i want to be on time and distance with 5/40W oil the geartrain and the DPF will still be OK. The oil cant damage the engine as long as you change it at the set intervals.
Beware there are a lot of scare mongers about. Dont let them put all sorts of tosh in you head.
Ive been asked this question once too many so i thought it good to put it on here.
