The 2007 Volkswagen GTI has a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine that requires SAE 5W-40 MS Synthetic European Motor Oil. The car can hold up to 4.9 quarts of oil with a filter, and the torque for the drain plug is 22 ft/lbs. The 5W-40 designation indicates the oil's viscosity at startup (5 for thickness), its winter suitability (W), and its viscosity at operating speeds (40). It's important not to leave the oil in the GTI too long as it can deteriorate. It's recommended to change the oil every 10,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first. If you take it to a mechanic, the cost of an oil change typically ranges from $40 to $60 for labor.
The 2007 Volkswagen GTI needs 5W-30 synthetic motor oil for optimum performance.
