I have a new VW Touareg 2004 V8 4.2L with less than 2.0 K miles. First oil change is due a 5K. I want to use synthetic oil ( I think). Some recommend using it at first oil change, other say wait until 10K beacuse of a better break-in period. Suggestions please. Also what viscosity, brand info or other information would be greatly appreciated. I read the owners manual but don't really understand all the technical stuff.
Are there significant differences between brands? Mobile 1, Castrol, Royal Purple, etc? Any pros & cons?
I live in eastern NC, hot muggy summers,winters not usually too bad but we can experience temps in the 15F-20's F at times. But is it is humid 24/7 365. Sorry to be so wordy
