I contacted my dealer yesterday to ask about what type of oil their service department used. The response:
(I now expect comments to the contrary)
I asked about the windshield washer additive too.
And . . .
I wonder, do all VW dealers offer similar service?
While I have always been sceptical about dealership service departments, preferring to use my own mechanic, the complexity of the car and its systems might make it mandatory to use VW service. Given the long service intervals the cost of servicing over a year might be more reasonable.
In response to your query, the closest equivalent oil to the type we use here at [name withheld] VW is the Castrol Edge fully synthetic 5W30.
I asked about the windshield washer additive too.
The washer additive is called Wurth Blitz Cleaner.
. . . we also offer a complimentary oil top up service in which you can come by anytime with no appointment and we will top up your oil and water free of charge.
