Is 10/40w oil ok for my 2003 Volkswagen Passat?
I have got a 2003 Volkswagen Passat TDI 130bhp. The mechanic put 10/40w fully synthetic oil in it. Is this ok or should I change it?

That's not official VAG spec for a PD engine. See www.millersoils.co.uk

A better drive and better equipped than the previous Passat. Comfortable and has more status than, say, a Ford Mondeo.
