Hey all,
I've got a Mk3 Scirocco R, same EA113 motor as the Golf Mk6 R. Factory recommended oil is 5w-30 VW504/507. Mechanic has just recommended I change to a 5w-40 as the car is pushing higher mileage and a 5w-40 will be better for it. My problem is I can't find any fully synthetic 5w-40 oil that is VW504/507. They are all VW502/505.
Is there a fully synthetic 5w-40 that meets the vw504/507 grade my car needs? If not, is there any problem in using a vw502/505 oil?
