What engine oil should I use for my Volkswagen Passat?

I recently purchased a Volkswagen Passat and I'm not sure which engine oil is best for it. I've heard about different types of oil like conventional, synthetic, and blend. Can anyone give me some advice on which one I should use and also the recommended viscosity?

Hi Samantha! Congratulations on your new Volkswagen Passat. As for the engine oil, it's always best to stick with what the manufacturer recommends. In this case, for your Passat, Volkswagen recommends using synthetic oil with a viscosity grade of 5W-30 or 5W-40 for optimum performance and protection.

Hello Samantha, I've been a Volkswagen owner for over 10 years now and I always use synthetic oil, specifically Mobil 1. It may be a bit pricier but it's worth the peace of mind knowing my engine is well protected.

Hi Samantha, I would recommend checking your Passat's manual for the recommended engine oil. Every car is different and it's important to use the right oil for optimal performance and engine longevity. Hope this helps!
