Get the correct stuff from VW. It isn't just as easy as replacing it with engine oil. Different kinds...Let me dig out the haynes...

Couldn't find anything in the haynes. Ask for some one with ETKA perhaps  :undecided:

I know you will have to a 'special' plug tool to remove the plug. I asked the stealers and they said they do not sell the tool, but luckily I have found the correct tool for mine. I have been meaning to change mine for a while, not sure if it is good, I guess it won't hurt!
