VW you can use regular oil

For a 1999 2.0 liter NON turbo VW you can use regular oil and regular gas. Its the only engine that can run regular fuel and regular oil. Normally, 5-30 is used in this vehicle. If you can afford it, use a synthenic oil like Mobil 1 0-40w European formula. It will meet the requirements you have.
Be aware though, that the 2.0 liter NON turbo has a history of high oil consumption; 1200 to 1500 miles per quart of oil usage is not uncommon.. so check the oil level regularly and don't top it off, just add oil when it gets to the top of the add area of the dipstick. The 2.0 liter NON turbo four is good engine, just not very smooth or powerful; however, if the oil is checked regularly and added when needed, it will last a very long time. It is in my humble opinion, the most reliable of the late model water cooled VW engine (based upon dealership service experience).

Hope this helps, a car nut.
