10w40 is a good compromise for this country where the outside temp is up and down so much. that was the most common oil grade in the mid to late 90s anyway. well that and 15w40.

hi All,

Is there ANY difference between the ABF engine and the AGG......AGG is what's fitted to my 1998 2.0 convert and would the same oil type be ok?


Thanks for your help

I use 5w/40 synthetic oil from fuchs. Very good oil in my opinion.

Just use vw's quantum 10/40 or get the same stuff from tps (trade parts specialists) cheaper
