👍 Yes, the LIQUI MOLY Leichtlauf High Tech 5W-40 is an excellent and recommended choice for your VW Golf GTI MK5 MK6, 6R, Audi A3 S3 A4 A5 2.0T FSI TFSI Engine Oil Blue 5L Container ( ex Purple)

Required Oil Specification

The key factor for your VW Golf GTI is the VW oil specification. For the 2.0L TSI/TFSI petrol engine in the MK6 GTI, the primary recommended specifications are:

• VW 502 00 (For standard/fixed service intervals, typically 15000 km or 1 year).
• VW 504 00 (For Long Life service intervals, typically up to 30000 km or 2 years, often paired with 5W-30 viscosity).

Why LIQUI MOLY 5W-40 Fits

The LIQUI MOLY Leichtlauf High Tech 5W-40 is approved for and meets the VW 502 00 specification.

Note on Viscosity (5W-40 vs. 5W-30):

While some owners' manuals list 5W-30 (VW 504 00), many VW/Audi mechanics and GTI enthusiasts prefer 5W-40 (VW 502 00) for this engine, especially in warmer climates or for cars that are driven aggressively/tuned. The slightly higher hot viscosity (the '40' number) often provides better protection and can help with minor oil consumption issues that these engines are known for.

Crucial Action Point

Always confirm the exact specification (VW 502 00 or VW 504 00) that your specific vehicle's owner's manual requires.

• If you are doing fixed-interval oil changes (recommended for the 2.0T): The LIQUI MOLY Leichtlauf High Tech 5W-40 (VW 502 00) is an ideal choice.
• If your car is coded for Long Life service (uncommon but possible): You would need a VW 504 00 / 507 00 oil, which is usually a 5W-30. If your car is currently using 504 00, you can switch to 502 00, but you must change the oil every 10000 - 15000 km or 1 year.

Why 5W-40 is Preferred for the "R"

Because the Golf R's engine is a high-compression, high-output turbocharged unit, it generates significant heat.

• Higher HTHS Viscosity: The 5W-40 oil (like the Leichtlauf High Tech) typically has a higher High-Temperature High-Shear (HTHS) viscosity than a 5W-30 (like Top Tec 4200).
• Better Film Strength: This higher viscosity provides a more robust protective oil film when the engine is running hot under heavy loads (e.g., track driving, high-speed motorway use, or repeated aggressive acceleration).
• Fixed Interval Focus: Using the VW 502 00 (5W-40) oil is often preferred alongside a more frequent oil change schedule (e.g., every 5,000 to 7,500 kms), which is best practice for any high-performance vehicle.

LIQUI MOLY Leicht­lauf High Tech 5W-40 5L

Can be used for gasoline vehicles and for diesel vehicles without diesel particulate filter.

Top-quality, state-of-the-art low-viscosity motor oil for gasoline and diesel engines without diesel particulate filter (DPF). The combination of unconventional base oils on a synthetic technology basis and the latest additive technology serves to guarantee a motor oil which reduces both oil and fuel consumption while ensuring fast oil penetration of the engine. Oil change intervals of up to 40,000 km are thus possible, depending on the manufacturer's specifications.

All-season oil for modern gasoline and diesel engines with multi-valve technology and turbocharging with and without charge air cooling. Especially suitable where there are long intervals between oil changes and heavy duty engine requirements. Tested for turbochargers and catalytic converters.
