Oil
« on: 06 April 2014, 15:34 »
Before anybody tries to burn me down... I have searched. A lot. Found nothing but contradicting answers and still confused.

Basically wondering what the best engine oil is for mk4 AGU that has done 108k?

Also fully syth or semi?

Thanks

I only use full synthetic. Its better for the engine because there is no sludge build up with it
2004 auq, 550cc injectors, gt3071r, adjustable fpr, ebc, fmic, sachs stage 2, walbro 255, 3" turbo back, 3" custom intake, n75 n249 sai delete.
