You need to use an oil meeting VW 502.00 specs. Mobil 1 SAE 5w-40 meets those specs so that is what I would recommend you use.
No
Motors A motor is a generic term for an engine. So yes they are the same thing. IMO, you have an electric motor or a gasoline engine.
I use Mobile 1
Yes, motor oil is generally heavier than gasoline. Motor oil has a higher viscosity and density compared to gasoline, which allows it to provide better lubrication for engine components. While gasoline is designed to be lighter and more volatile for combustion, motor oil is formulated to withstand high temperatures and pressures within an engine.
A engine exchange will be necessary. Remove the diesel and install a gasoline type.
For a 2002 Volkswagen Passat, it's generally recommended to use synthetic motor oil with a viscosity of 5W-30. Check your owner's manual for specific requirements or recommendations, as some models may have different engine options. Always ensure the oil meets the VW specifications, such as VW 502.00 or 505.00, for optimal engine performance.
Both Diesel and Gasoline Engines are basically German inventions. The Diesel Engine was invented by Rudolf Diesel The Gasoline engine by Nikolaus August Otto :-)
An electric car does not have a traditional engine like a gasoline-powered car. Instead, it has an electric motor that runs on electricity stored in a battery. This motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy to power the car, making it more environmentally friendly and efficient compared to a gasoline engine.
4 cylinder will have two engine mounts and one transmission mount
it is because you will save money on energy expenses in comparison to a gasoline engine..
The "...convert a gas car to electric..." implies removal of the gasoline engine and replacing it with an electric motor, creating an all electric car. If on the other hand you intend to keep the gasoline engine and use it when the batteries are low, then you will have created a hybrid gasoline-electric vehicle. With that qualification, and the assumption that you meant a full conversion from gasoline to electric, then the answer to your question is that IF the gasoline engine is removed from service, then the computer "that controlled the gas engine and its components" is no longer necessary and can be removed also. Also, the portion of your question relating to the gasoline engine computer suggests your thinking that it could be reprogrammed somehow to control the electric motor. Since that computer is designed for and is dedicated to the gasoline engine, it cannot be be reprogrammed and used to control the electric motor(s).
The 2005 Volkswagen Passat typically uses synthetic motor oil, with a recommended viscosity of 5W-40 or 5W-30, depending on the engine type. It's important to refer to the owner's manual for specific oil specifications, including any particular API or VW standards. Always ensure that the oil meets the necessary requirements for optimal engine performance and longevity.
