The Volkswagen Golf Mk4 is recommended to use SAE 5W-40 oil, and Volkswagen advises using synthetic oil for better engine performance and wear protection. Synthetic oil lasts longer and provides improved wear protection compared to conventional oil. With synthetic oil, you can go 7,500 miles between changes, while conventional oil requires changes every 3,500 to 5,000 miles. It's important to check your oil monthly to ensure it is full and free from damage.
