      The recommended viscosity is 5W-30, but due to the design features of the piston and exhaust system, it is better to use oils of the 5W-40 standard according to SAE, choosing products with improved detergent additives and increased anti-wear properties.

        Thank you Madam! I'm currently using 5W40. I've heard that I can use ANY oil with VW 502.00 access, so I'm just wondering who uses which brand. Thank you!
