Type of oil
« on: 28 December 2005, 21:24 »
hi all, could anyone tell me the prefered type of oil for a 1995 gti, 8 valve, engine code AGG. I want to do an oil change and want to get the right grade. I think the oil that is in their at the moment is way to thin. cheers guys DAN   (happy new year to all)

I think that any good 10/40 oil ideal as most mk3 are over a 100k now, and that grade is fine, well i use it and have no problens with top end noise.  :rolleyes:
