VW Golf oil question
Hi,
Recently I had planned to top up the oil in my 2000 VW Golf GLE and after looking through my manual I have found that it takes VW 500 00 or VW 502 00. My problem is that I have never heard of these as an oil type and was wondering if anyone could possibly translate these to Australian standards? |

I personally use 5w 30 (When its winter). The computers at a Jiffy would say that is the recommended viscosity). However, If I am not mistaken I believe VWs have been known to use 10w 40. I know.. odd two choices seeing how far apart they are. |

Oil to use.
My manual recommends 5-50 oil, which I cannot find anywhere. I think this is because the sell the car everywhere.
5W-30 should be fine for everywhere. |
