I need to do an oil change. I want to know what kind of oil i should get.

The dealer told me that i should get Castrol Syntec 5w40.

The other dealer told me i should get Mobil 1 5w40.

which one should i get? sorry for the newb question but my waranty just ended and now i need to do this myself as my dealers charge 150 for an oil change [headbang]

thanks in advance.

Use an oil that meets VW 502 00 and VW 505 01 standards.

Mobil 1 5W30 does not meet this standard...
