You have to check TPS to see if they ever have any offers on, as sometimes you can get 5Ltr dirt cheap....

Tell them your VW dealer sent you.

Any thoughts on using slightly thicker oils? I have a tiny bit of blow-by past the rings, but not enough to justify a rebuild/replacement just yet. I wonder if a thicker oil may improve it slightly?
