*Urgent ish*Best oil for my GTI????
« on: 15 October 2005, 22:32 »
My 16V had now got 159K on the clocks and i'm doing an oil change..

What would be the best due to the milage?? it does sound quite tappety at the moment  :sad:

Have to buy in the morning hence the urgent part  :wink:

so just to re-cap! my valver is of a similar milage and is also (i think) is sounding a bit tappety although it may just be a rattle that i cant find!! So what type of oil do i need?

when i tend to go to the stealership they dnt tend to know what they are talking about in parts so when i say what oil do i need for a valver they look puzzled and give me the first on the shelf.
