What oil would you recommend for use in a 53 plate 1.9 GT TDi 150 (mk4)? I've tried the link but don't know the difference between the different GT TDi specs :embarassed:

Thanks.

What oil should I use in my 2002 Mk4 GTi 20V Turbo? Cheers.

I have tried searching by the way, but I'm confused at all the different information I'm finding. The book says one thing and here it says that's old obsolete oil. I basically want to know the Viscosity I should use. I usually use Castrol, so if that's fine with a particular viscosity, then that'll be what I may go for.

Are you on the variable or fixed service schedule?

No idea, annual servicing as far as I know.

A good 5w-40 synthetic changed every 10,000 miles or once a year which ever comes first.

Hi mate,

What oil would you suggest for a 57 (registered in April) plate GTI Edition 30? I have got myself so confused.

I do not do track days or thing like that and i spend most of my time stuck in traffic on the way to work!

Any help you can offer would be much appreciated!

Thanks,

Tom
