The VW Golf 1.6 FSI uses SAE 5w-40 full synthetic oil. It has a capacity of 4.7 quarts. Oil keeps the internal parts of Your car's engine cool and lubricated and it also keeps the moving parts from grinding against each other thereby reducing wear and damage. The cost of an oil change for Your Golf is between $90 and $110 for parts and labor. You should get an oil change every 10,000 miles or 1 year, whichever comes first.. You will know that it is time for an oil change if You notice transmission shifting issues, increased engine noise, shaking while idling, excess exhaust, an oil smell inside the vehicle and of course if You see the Check Engine or Oil Change lights come on.
