Hi everyone
Last year i moved from the UK to USA - near Pittsburgh, PA.
I owned a MK5 GTI in the UK and i used Castrol Edge 5w30 every time i did oil change. I now own a MK6 GTI over here and i'm seeing conflicting information from googling what oil to use over here.
The specs in my manual state VW 502 00, VW 503 00, VW 504 00 yet i've seen people saying do not use 502 spec in the USA etc..
So, based on where i live (cold winter and pretty hot summer(to me anyway)) which oil should i be using, i am assuming 5w40..
Thanks in advance and apologies, i know this type of question gets asked a lot no doubt.
