i could do with finding out 2. Searching isnt really helping for some reason. I thort the dealers used 10w/40 semi synthetic?

My local dealer recommended 10w 40 semi-synthetic oil but I've read on here that a better bet is something like a 5w 30 fully-synthetic as it offers better cold weather protection and is more suited to the 1.8T engine and its 20v head (something to do with the oil being thinner and small drainage holes in the engine etc)...

My next service is due soon and I will be replacing the current 10w 40 oil with a 5w 30 fully synth.

My dealer also supplied 10w 40 quantum and said it was standard oil for car [LC]

You seem to get a different answer on every thread about it on here
