Fully Synth Synta Gold from the stealers, FTW! :afro:  Reasonably priced, & also what they use in my car - When I had a service once, they left the half of a bottle they didn't use in my car! 8)

Agree with this 110%. Synta Gold fully synth 5w40. Have had quotes for oil change from companys that have very good reputations for tuning and maintaining both standard and 300+ golfs, and all recommend this. It's what I'll be putting in mine anyway :wink:

Mobil 1 is a quality oil, Rich, I used to use it on the 306 when I got if free at BMW, but I don't see the point of paying the extra for it, now, as I've had no problems (touch-wood) from using Synta Gold for the last 3.5 years on the Golf. :afro:

I've only ever bought 1 ltr top-up's (when I had the knackered KO3), TBH, I think that was £5.50ish?? :undecided:
