Does it really make financial sense to use expensive synthetic oil instead of cheaper mineral oil?
The synthetic lubricants recommended by Volkswagen have been designed to save you money in the short term, and in the long term, and to give you the best driving experience. Using Volkswagen-approved synthetic lubricants reduces fuel consumption, extends vehicle life, and makes the vehicle more responsive. We at Volkswagen believe that these benefits far outweigh the high cost of the synthetic lubricants. And, the higher that fuel prices get the better the value of using synthetic lubricants.
