Whats the mileage on your MK3?

Unfortunately I don't have a lot of the older history for my car

Since I've had it i've made sure all the important things have been serviced and replaced.

Just been to GSF to get some service bits and asked them what type of oil I should be putting in at 118,000 miles.  He suggeted I stick to good (at least GTX) 10/40 if there is nothig wrong with it.  Makes sence really, thicker oil will be terrible on morning as it takes longer to circulate.  Guess it comes down to gut instinct and knowing your car well before you start putting the thick stuff in.  Basically when things start to get a little louder.......

My 95 valver has just clocked over 71k. Not bad for it's age i guess. Still feels great too! As for oil and fuel. It's magnatec and shell or bp all the way. No supermarket stuff.

Mines at 82k , got in 5 years ago at 55k

Mine is on 115k now. Bought it 2 and a half years ago now when it had 98k on the clock.
It was originally a company car, an Estate Agency in London. It was then bought by the woman that controlled the cars in that company, so she knew it was a good one!
I bought it from her.

I've got an 8v Anniversary which is yet to hit puberty, <45k.  Had it a year and a half, got it MOT'd the other month and i'd only covered 3500 miles for the year. (I've got an L200 for work which gets a good hammering!)  Got a great pic of it as i was arriving at Bug Jam last weekend, i'm sans scanner tho.

With regards to the oil situation the car would have been filled with 10/40 semi synthetic from new so providing you have FSH thats what would have been put in it and you should continue to use this, the benefits are increased the more miles you do.

10/40 is thinner as we all know and takes less time to get up to optimal operating temp and reduces friction. Putting a 15/40 in after a car has done all its miles on a Semi will cause a sudden increase in wear and is not good at all.

Trust me, I work for Castrol Oil..!!   And they make VW's Quantum oil for them!!
