Motor oil

[fortuneink]

I have a 2016 GTI ; What brand of motor oil and viscosity is recommended for summer driving ? Winter ?

Use the search functionality. I’m new here also but be sure to do some foot work. Most everything u need to know is already here for the viewing.

Agreed - I should have asked if there is a recommended summer / winter vis ?

Oh boy, I shouldn't engage on this but...

Use what is on the label under your hood. For a MK7 it's 5W-40 (502 00/505 00). And you can use the same oil year round.

Thread is going to derail soon, search function is your best friend in the forum for simple topics like this. There will be hundreds of threads discussing the same.
