The 2015 VW Passat TSI oil type is SAE 5W-40 oil, and Volkswagen recommends that You only use full synthetic oil in Your engine. Synthetic oil can offer You greater protection for the moving components in Your vehicle. There are two main types of oil on the market, synthetic and conventional. Synthetic oil is made in a laboratory and is designed to help keep Your engine protected, whereas conventional oil is just petroleum based. Since synthetic oil is better it needs to be changed less frequently, usually only every 7,500 miles compared to 3,000 to 5,000 for conventional. I recommend that You check Your oil every time that You get gas to keep an eye on the fill level and make sure that it is not full of debris.
