Default Best oil for VAG petrol engine.

My car is NOT an AUDI,but a SEAT Leon FR 1.8,2017,PETROL,with 8700kms on it.
It has an engine which is used throughout VAG cars.
Question;my engine oil is usually +/- 108C using 0w30 oil.
Coming Summer I will take my car from NL to Scotland for a 3 week driving holiday.
Will a 0w40 be better in hilly and mountanous
areas,or will 0w30 still suffice?
Thanks b 4 hand for answer.

F, as long as your car is using a VAG spec oil, the viscosity is generally the same for all the products due to a minimum thickness requirement written into the spec.

Doesn't your car call for a 504.00/507.00 oil?
