Quantum 5w40
LC5F:
5w40 platinum is the sweet spot for Mk5 Gti
pudding:
I would stick to Fuchs Titan if you want consistency. Platinum keeps changing.
Or treat your engine to Motul "Specific VW 505 01 502 00" if you want something a bit saucier.
TheBALDpuma:
So this is what's come. Platinum plus 5w40.
Doesn't have 502 on it, but is approved for vw 511. I don't really understand plus to this detail, but from digging around online it looks like it's approved for high performance vag models
mjmallia:
This is what I have in mine with no issues.......but I do oil changes every 6 months due to short journeys
pudding:
VW 511 should be fine. It's for "Gasoline engines with OPF" apparently, which is good because it means it will have been designed to reduce oil consumption, which is useful on TFSIs :grin:
I think it supersedes 502. 502 is, or was at least, for petrol turbo engines on fixed service intervals and 5W40.
I can't keep up with these constant changes but as above, platinum or platinum plus 5W40 will be OK.
