A friend of mine has a 1998 Jetta VR6 that I have done the OC's on. From the owners manual I found that 5w-30 would be ideal for the Montana winters this car sees and it also be fine for the summers.
But...looking on some VW forums and this site, it looks like people are using a 0/5w-40 for the VR's.
It seems to be running fine for the last 5yrs. on Mobil,PP, and most recently Castrol Syntec 5w-30, and I wanted to know the BITOGers ideas on this...
Side note: Friend bought car in 2004 w/14,000mi. and currently has around 52,000mi as of last OC.
Thanks in advance.
