I just picked up a 2010 GTI, and I'm looking to do my own oil on it, as I have done with the car before this (2000 ford focus and first car)
The manual calls for a 5w40 and oil change intervals of 10k miles or one year. I do not feel comfortable with that.
I would like an interval of 5k, 6mo. I just passed 1k miles and I plan on doing a change this weekend. I had good experience with royal purple in my motorcycle, and there are a few guys on VW vortex that have lab tests to back up that redline is great in our motors, however these products both void the warranty.
I don't really know what my options are, but I'm thinking a Mobil 1 full synthetic is what I'm going to go with, I'm not sure I know any better.
I'm hoping you guys can help me out, feel free to ask for more info, I will provide whatever I can get my hands on.
