Good evening folks, have a question about what oil I should be using for a 2013 VW Passat with the 2.5. Has a little over 100k on it. I usually use in all my cars and customers cars, from Nissans to Chevys, Valvoline HM Full Synthetic 5w30 and love it. I confused on what oil to run in this particular car. I’d like to keep running Valvoline in it but I’m reading use 5w30 but 5w40 is better and 10w30 is better than 5w30 for a VW. Confused what they’re saying. I see that Valvoline has a European formula that is 5w40. Should I use that instead? I do really like the max life HM though. Either way this car will get oil changes every 4-5k miles. Thats just what I do. I prefer to use Valv, I don’t like Castrol or Mobil. Thanks for any input folks! I’m new to these European cars. Take care.
