Here's my take, and my opinion:
Your engine clearances with a rebuild, for bearings, pistons, rings, etc., should be pretty comparable to a brand-new from Wolfsburg engine. So use what VW recommended, like straight 30W. |
I am pretty sure VW broke the engines in though.
I don't know what oil they used at the factory.
30wt was their original recommendation for ongoing usage.
As a general moderator message, let's stick to talking about break-in oils since that is the question.
For normal ongoing oil discussion, see the oil thread. _________________ How to Post Photos
