Best oil-20v turbo
« on: 13 June 2006, 12:47 »
I dont want to start an arguement or a big dibate as this question often does!!! But here goes.

What is the chosen oil by members of this site for there mk4 golf 20v turbo's?

Ive only had the car a month & am taking it to big boys toys in thurrock for a revo re-map but wanted to give it a good service before hand.

Also would i be right in saying (correct me if im wrong) that V-DUB recommend 5w-30w???

Thanks James.

nope. silver is good stuff. the only car I've ever used gold in was an M3 when we did a Inspection 2 service...
