The recommended oil type for the 2003 Volkswagen GTI with the 1.8 L 4Cylinder engine iS5W-40 MS Synthetic in all temperatures. The capacity for it iS4.8 quarts with a filter and the torque for the drain plug is 22 ft/lbs. 5W-40 means that the thickness or the viscosity of the oil iS5 at startup, w stands for winter and 40 is the thickness or the viscosity at operating speeds. It is important to use oil because it will help to keep the engine clean and running. You need to do oil changes though because it won't last forever. For the GTI You should change the oil and the oil filter every 10,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first.
