I am looking at a 2003 Jetta with 90k miles.
The seller just informed me that the dealer they have had doing the oil changes indicated on the reciepts that they were using Delo 15/40 motor oil.
I know that synthetic oils are required on these motors, and that there are piston ring and turbo issues if you dont.
My question is... Is there any way to check for damage?
Or is this just gonna be a coin toss as to if it is going to drop dead on me in the next few miles....
Walk away or take a chance...
