Hello Matt

My cars been serviced by VW (2001 Y reg 1.8t) and it says Magnatec GTXM on the invoice (i dont know what the M means and it does not say if it's 15w-40w or not)

Halfords must have a list??

I just went to volkswagen parts desk and told them what car i had and that i wanted to do a oil change.. so he cave me 6litres of oil (which was in a silver bottle) and it only cost me if i remember correctly £14.99!!
I had been using castrol GTX stuff before that, which is god damn expensive stuff and my car was drinking that a lot more quicker than the VW oil!
