For those of us that like Penrite oils, there is good news.
A VW Approved (longlife) oil is Enviro+ 5W-30
A suitable oil (non-longlife, non-approved) oil is HPR 5
The HPR 5 is not too expensive, I use it in my daughter's Swift, and in the Sirion GTVi.
Don't know the price of the Enviro+, it's fairly new to the market. But it's VW APPROVED for longlife applications, so can be used in all the newish VWs currently available in AU. Hopefully someone has seen it and can post some pricing.
See attached files for the approval letter and the specs for each oil.
Both should be readily available from the usual Repco, Autobarn, etc. outlets.
