★ Top Answer
The Volkswagen Golf 2.5 from 2012 requires either 5W-30 or 5W-40 oil. It is crucial to use high-quality oil to ensure the engine operates smoothly. Issues may arise if the oil is not changed regularly. Poor-quality oil can lead to engine failure, indicated by a strong burning odor and potential engine damage. Any unusual sounds, such as knocking noises, should be checked promptly to avoid catastrophic consequences like engine failure. Additionally, using old oil can result in decreased gas mileage and reduced engine performance. It is recommended to replace the oil every 5,000 to 10,000 miles to maintain optimal engine function and prevent potential problems.
