Will the type of oil really matter?
« on: 17 February 2008, 13:57 »
Picked up some 10w/40 for my GTi (which is what I usually use) but didn't notice at first that it's mark for diesel's.

Is it really going to matter? Or am I going to have to extract the litre currently in the sump?

I'm no oil expert, but as long as it was semi synthetic, I would use it.

I'd drain the oil anyway. If you are that worried take it back and get one that's marked up for petrol engines.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.
