Different oils used for service

Featured Replies

Hi

I would like some advice feedback. I just had my 3rd major service for my 2023 Skoda Octavia VRS and noticed that this time they used 0w-20 oil but the previous they used 0w-30w oil. According to my understanding the oil recommended for the tsi engine is 0w-20 to its thinner viscosity meeting emissions regulations and being better for the turbo engines under heavy loads than the 0w-30 which has a thicker viscosity. Thankfully i don't place much load on the engine, apart for loading the car for a 10+ hour trip I've never towed nor have a stressed the engine much with heavy driving maintained revs above 4,000 rpm for prolonged time and the oil temperature had never exceeded from memory above 112c if that. I also have the oil changed in-between the major services at about every 7,500 kms. With all info above Is it an issue seeing that the previous times they put in 0w - 30 and now 0w - 20. Should i bring it up with them.
