I just bought a used VW Routan 2009 from USA and I live in Nigeria. Can I used engine oil 10w 40 instead of the recommended 10w 30. Or is 5w 30 as a good alternative? Thanks a lot.

Hello,

5W30 would be the better option, but the 10W40 can also be used if the factory recommended is not available.
Also, this engine will need 5.2 liters of oil.

Let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
