Default 1.8t engine oil specs
Hi

I live in the Caribbean, and I have a 2002 VW Passat with a 1.8t engine. I'm not the original owner of the car, it has about 45 000 miles.
I'm having some trouble to find the kind of oils listed in the VW updated list before the "oil sludge" problem.
The last oil change made to the car was with an european syntethic formula: Turboplus 10w40 and the big oil filter. Now, I've found two more syntethic oils: Castrol Syntec SAE 10w-30 and Havoline Syntethic 10w-30, but none of them have the VW 502.00 standard listed in the label. Is there any problem to use one of those oils in the next change?

thanks

Alex
