Title: WHICH ENGINE OIL FOR MK3 8V GTI?
Post by: shazz290 on 20 September 2010, 16:24

Gonna need a oil top up soon and was wondering about shell engine oil...anyone tried it? any good?

when the car had its last service i think 10w 40 was used not sure about synthetic etc..... any recommendations?

any problems if i use something different and mixes with current oil?

thanks

Ah right well if you get it cheap go with that then, as long as it semi-syn and meets the necessary specs you've cool. You could also use this... http://www.vwspares.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=1137
