    Is it safe to use 'Mobil Super FE 5w-30, Semi-Synthetic Motor Oil in a Volkswagen Golf SDI? Thanks.

    Does it list any VW specs on the label? (e.g. VW 5xx.xx). If so then compare it to what's in the manual.

    Castrol recommends a fully synthetic oil for your car:

    5W-30 is correct viscosity though.


    Doing a similar check on Mobil US website also recommends a FULLY synthetic oil.
