    allways use the oil thats specified in manual
    i always use either longlife 111 or fully synthetic gm oil on all cars
    my freind has said his passat sounds quieter and is a little more economical on the fully gm oil

    Thanks Tow......
    Checked in the manual, but for fully synthetic just says, 5w/30, 10w/30, or 5w/40, 10w/40.

    I wonder which one is the best for the health of the engine, given the miles/age tho?
