Hello everyone,
I used to change the engine oil by myself using VW-approved 5W40 or 0W40. However, I don't have a garage in a new apartment. So I brought my car to Midas to get the service. But there are some concerning factors.
1. Midas used NAPA 5W30 Full Synthetic (75520) which is not VW-approved engine oil. A guy from Midas told me 5W30 is an alternative option for 5W40; however, he didn't mention that it wasn't a VW 502.00 engine oil.
2. They installed NAPA ProFormer 21348 which has a 5,000-mile lifespan. What's more interesting is that the NAPA website says that this filter does not fit with the 2016 Volkswagen Jetta. But I guess the size fits well, except the material and bypass valve specifications are inferior.
Should I complain about this issue to Midas? My gut feeling says that it may be okay for a 5000-mile oil change. But please let me know what you guys think about it.
