Just had vw local dealer service my 2017 gti PP, (UK model) they filled engine with shell LL 0W-30, I was surprised as it has previously always had ll 5w-30 either castrol edge, or Shell equivalent fully synthetic..
I queried it and they said that was the current recommendation. I do have only 37000 miles and a vw extended warranty, all component. SO if engine fails, I should be covered. the only advantage of going to 0W-30, I can think of is that the 0W will give it a lower viscocity when cold. is that better or worse???
