What oil do you run your valver on????

i get oil and filter from vw in guildford for under 15 quid

I use castrol GTX mangnatec...

Clings to the engine soon as you turn the key 

And as far as buying the oil filter from veedub... I dont know how much they are from veedub but it's only an oil filter... a filters a filter.

1) Magnatec is actually complete sh!t, and doesn't protect your engine very well, as for clinging to anything its more likely to cling to your clothes than the engine parts.

2) you obviously never paid any attention to the above did you, the whole idea of getting an original filter is to protect the engine, I.E. non return valves to keep the oil in the engine instead of letting it settle in the sump causing damage as soon as you start due to oil having to rise back to the hydraulic tappets again. Stopping as much damage when starting from cold.

Personally run delphi 5/40w fully synt. Much nicer for the engine and keeps everything ticking at a stable temperature. Again genuine filters aswell.

So Vee Dub oil filter it is with a non return valve to stop it sounding like an old ford on a morning!!! And a big tub of synta silver along with everything else I need from my local vee dub dealership why is it the fiddly bits like cam belt covers, central locking and top strut mounts that always need doing!!
