In this engine use either 5W-30W or 10W-30W, use any name brand oil.
10 w 30 weight and 4-5 quarts
Why are you people giving these folks BAD information. It says right on the oil filler cap and in the owner's manual to use 5W-40 weight oil. You will have a very difficult time finding any mineral based 5W-40. IMO 0W-40 Mobil1 synthetic is an even better choice because it flows better at startup. Any reputable VW mechanic will tell you to use ONLY synthetic oil in this turbocharged engine.
I know this thread is old but how in the hell do all these people keep giving the WRONG answers! Thank you David Sparkling for staying on top of ot with the correct response. I have a 2006 passat with 212,000 miles on it and the engine runs great on synthetic 5w40 every 10k miles or so.
