Here's why:
* Engine Type: There were several engine options in the 1996 GTI (e.g., 2.0L 8v, 2.0L 16v). Each engine has different oil specifications.
* Oil Viscosity: The correct oil viscosity depends on your climate and driving conditions.
* Oil Type: Modern cars often require specific types of oil (synthetic, conventional, etc.)
To find the right oil for your car, you need to:
1. Check your owner's manual: It will have the most accurate information regarding the recommended oil viscosity and type.
2. Consult your local Volkswagen dealer or a reputable mechanic: They can provide you with the correct oil based on your car's specifics.
Important Note: Using the wrong type or viscosity of oil can damage your engine. Always consult reliable sources for accurate information.
