.Thanks for posting that, it is interesting to see what they are doing to make the engine more compact and what they can get out of a 1.4 litre engine.
That is one engine you definitely do not want to get a varnish or deposit buildup in, I am guessing dino and probably even blends are out.

Thanks for the link, gregk24. Answered some questions I had about the engine in my lease Jetta. Surprised ath the texbook pentroof cyl head shape with the DI port opp the sparker. I dont recall seeing cam thru the cam box integrated with the head proper on a OHC engine, but I never had to repair any other than motorcycles. Usually they are sitting on bearingless saddles about level with the rocker arm cover split. I would say this is the result of advanced casting techniques and capabilities.I found this to be interesting. Is this common? This is the first time I have seen this design.
Not often.I doubt the OP will have any oil related issues with his. It will get changed early and often with full syn. along with the proper spec.
Hate to think what it will cost to fix anything on that engine.

VW has required only synthetic since the late 90's starting with the MKIV and B5 Passat. Wondering if you take a Jetta/Golf in to even a quick lube style place if their systems would allow a bulk dino or blend, its been MANY (15+) years since I stepped foot in a quick lube joint so I am not even sure how they work anymore.
I would never run anything other than "full synthetic" in any turbo engine. Besides, VW makes it clear that 508.00 is the only option for the current 1.4 TSI.
I’ll be doing max 5k OCI in ours.Not often.
10K miles or one year interval with REAL synthetic lubricant, not phony North American "cleaned up" paraffins.
Oh certainly. I’d never go there.I realize that but will quick lube places? I have my doubts about that.
I meant valve cover. Not head. My bad.I don't see the cams in the head. I see them in their own assembly which is bolted to the head.
Or am I missing something?
