* Engine Size: The amount of oil needed varies significantly based on the engine size. A 1.6L engine will need a different amount than a 2.0L engine.
* Oil Type: Different types of oil (conventional, synthetic, etc.) can have slightly different viscosities, affecting the amount needed.
* Oil Consumption: Some engines naturally consume a small amount of oil over time.
How to Find the Right Oil Capacity:
1. Check Your Owner's Manual: The most reliable source is your owner's manual. It will list the exact oil capacity for your specific Golf model and engine.
2. Look at the Oil Dipstick: The dipstick will show the minimum and maximum oil levels for your engine. Use it to determine how much oil you need to add.
3. Consult a Mechanic: If you can't find the information in your manual, a trusted mechanic can tell you the correct oil capacity.
Important Safety Note: Always use the recommended oil type and viscosity for your engine. Overfilling the engine with oil can damage it.
