A good 5w-40 synthetic changed every 10-12,000 miles or once a year, what ever comes first http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40-engine-oil.aspx

Filters here http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-1311-by-brand.aspx

oil man....

2000 1.8 turbo 20v aug , golf gti

103,000 miles

used and abused on road, what oil?

Hi

I would use a 5w-40 synthetic and you will find those through the link below.

http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx

Out of those, the best ones are the Fuchs/Silkolene Pro S, Millers CFS, Motul 300V, Redline and Gulf Competition. The Motul 8100 X-Cess, Millers XFS, Fuchs Supersyn, Shell Helix and Mobil Super 3000 are good, cheaper alternatives.

Cheers

I'd go for a really good 5w-40 oil, like the Millers CFS, Redline, Fuchs Pro S, Motul 300V or Gulf Competition.
