The engine oil recommended for a 2007 golf gti varies between vehicles with longlife service and those without longlife service what is longlife service and is there much difference between the oils.?

Recommended engine oil for 2.0 litre TFSI engine on VW Golf GTI is Mobil1 5W30 or Mobil1 0W40. You can use a different brand with these viscosity ratings, but make sure it is FULLY SYNTHETIC,( NOT A SYNTHETIC BLEND or a mineral based oil). I've researched and asked VW service departments because I own a 2007 Golf GTI and it's a MAGNIFICENT car!
