Hi guys,
I realize this topic has been dealt with to death, but just want some reassurance. Picked up my MK6 Golf GTI 2 weeks ago (used, 37,000k on the clock). First thing, oil change - I dont believe waiting 15k between oil changes.
Quick search revealed 5W-30 fully synthetic for the GTI. Did the oil change yesterday with Castrol Edge Titanium 5W-30. Reading some forums now, realised it is only 502/505 VW approved. Is it still fine to use the oil for the next 5000k's before my 45k service?
I'm getting both sides of the argument. Some say its fine (though not the best), other say to dump the oil and do another oil change. Would it be ok to keep driving on this oil for 5000k's?
Thanks.
