I would bet that the CW on the net says 20W50.  Certainly for summer in
most parts of the world this would seem to make sense.  However, I just got
my oil changed at a VW dealer.  They used 15W40 and claimed this is per VWs
recommendation.  I am not that well versed on the topic but think this may
be regional.  Vancouver is cool year round so I am not worried if someone
got it wrong.  


By the way, the oil change was free (C$7.00 for the filter).  All I had to
do was download a coupon from the net.
