Your engine was factory-filled with a high-quality, synthetic all-
season engine oil that meets strict Volkswagen oil quality standards
and has a viscosity grade of SAE 5W-40. or SAE 5W-30. You can
use this oil for normal driving in all temperatures.
If you need to add oil between oil changes, use only a high quality
oil that expressly complies with the Volkswagen oil quality standard

At the time this Manual was printed, the engine oils available in the
U.S. that meet these Volkswagen standards are synthetic oils. This
does not mean, however, that any synthetic engine oil will meet
Volkswagen standards. Always use an approved oil that expressly
complies with the Volkswagen oil quality standard that applies to
your vehicle's engine.
