Through the Mk7 model years, the Volkswagen Golf GTI in North America featured various engines. Let's focus on the 2017 Golf GTI, equipped with a 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo engine known as the CXCB variant. This engine requires 6.0 quarts of SAE 5W-30 full synthetic motor oil. While SAE 5W-40 can be used as a substitute, it is not the recommended choice. Avoiding SAE 5W-40 is advised due to its lower viscosity. This can lead to increased friction in the engine over time, causing premature wear and tear. As a result, using SAE 5W-40 may accelerate engine aging, resulting in earlier engine failure at a lower mileage than expected.

The manual clearly states that using 5w40 oil is one of the two recommended options. It won't harm your engine and could even be more beneficial in a hot environment.

4.7 liters can be described as roughly equivalent to about 1.24 gallons in volume.

5.7 liters - equivalent to approximately 1.5 gallons.

You could say "4.7 liters" instead.

In extremely cold temperatures, I opt for fully synthetic oil with a viscosity rating of 0-20, totaling 5.7 liters.
