    10w40 is perfect.

    €16.99 in Lidl on Monday, special offer.

    It has to be VW 502.00 or 501.01 spec oil. The viscosity range is irrelevant once it meets those specs.

    That should do the trick so.......although I think I'd rather a decent brand oil if it was my own car.

    Lidl is supposedly GM (General Motors) oil made by AC Delco, just re-branded. The shape of the bottles is even identical, just different stickers.
