Just got a 2017 GTI Sport with the 2.0L motor. I intend to do a break in change around 1000-1500 miles. In the past I have used M1 0W-40, but I heard that it's no longer VW 502 certified. VW "recommends" Castrol, but I don't care to buy BP products quite frankly.
My commute is also only about 20 mins/9 miles each way, just long enough to get the engine oil up to operating temp 205º-215º and keep it there for ~5 min. I plan to keep the car indefinitely so, what's my best choice of a VW approved oil?
I live in the SF Bay Area in CA, so we have some hot days and cool nights/mornings pretty much year around outside of July/August when the temp typically stays up. Thanks.
