Not a vr but same oil, quantum from vw. Far cheaper than all that stuff u pay for the label in halfrauds, and is recommended by vw.  :smiley:

So many suggestions  :grin:

Quantum 10w/40 semi synthetic is the recommended stuff from VW themselves as it's the right oil for the engine's seals and gaskets. It's about £18 for 5l from vw so it's cheap too, but if you get an even bigger discount the much better  :smiley:
