Hey guys/gals,
Picked up a 2012 VW Jetta sportswagen with the 2.5L engine, right around 7000 miles on it. Dealer says they serviced it with Valvoline Synpower 5w-40.
Oil looks clean etc but I want to change it just for piece of mind.
This car specs VW 502.00 in 5w-30 or 5w-40. Being the car is in MN and winter can be a beast, what do you all recommend for oil? Would 5w-40 be too thick for the winter?
Car is garaged @ night but will be outside all day while I am at work.
Thanks !
