[QUOTE="Rhodrich, post: 608759, member: 25434"] Whilst not ideal, this is normal for an engine that is not in its first flush of youth, after a long highway run. VW themselves recognised this - see extract from user manual (bottom right) [img]https://www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/manuals/72bus/72II-29.jpg[/img] Any straight 30 grade oil, or 15w40 multigrade is fine for your engine. Avoid the use of 20w50, as it's too thick for the oil cooling circuit, and will make your engine run hotter than it should. [/QUOTE]
