5W-40 is what I use. I live in Chicago... but I really didn't take that into consideration.

0W-40 or 5W-40... Either one is good.

this would be a better source...

Any oil that has the VW502 00 and 505 01 approval will do.

Standard Use around here is 5W-40 for Castrol Syntech or 0w-40 for Mobil1.

Not to argue but my owner's manual said 0W-30 or 5W-30

I agree .............i have been adding a little bit of Mobil 1 5-30 to top it off.

I guess i will switch over to a Castrol 5-40. I have had very good luck with this oil and will more than likely use this with the s4
