Hello everyone,
I have a 2019 VW Jetta GLI that requires 508 spec 0W-20 oil. I accidentally ran a non-508 Castrol Edge EP 0W-20 for around 3000 miles until I realized my error and swapped to a correctly spec'd oil. I fully realize I made a dumb mistake, but should I be worried about this causing any issues down the road? I was fairly easy on the car during that time, with mostly long-ish trips and the occasional full-throttle runs through 2nd gear after the oil came to temp. Any insight/advice is appreciated!
