    Castrol's web site is advising this age of Polo 1.4 is variable servicing interval (which also means a long service interval) requiring long life oil. Castrol recommends Edge 5W-30 which is the same oil recommended for long variable service interval BMW's for example.

  • Hi,
    Could you please advise me which engine oil is recommended (by using which fuel economy gets better) for VW Polo 1.4 Automatic (Petrol) 2000 model ?
    How much quantity and after how long (mileage) should I change the oil ?


    Thanks a lot for replying in advance.
