I would be tempted by a good 5w-40 synthetic, changed every 10,000 miles or once a year, whatever comes first http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx

got a 2000 mk4 gti 1.8t arz with stage 1 remap.

Hi Rio

The best thing will be something like the Fuchs Pro S, Redline, Motul 300V, Gulf Competition or Millers CFS. If your budget doesn't stretch to those, the Motul X-Cess, Millers XFS, Fuchs Supersyn and Mobil Super 3000 are good choices. With the prices at the moment, the Gulf is a really good option.

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, Motul 300V, Redline and Gulf Competition. The Motul 8100 X-Cess, Millers XFS, Shell Helix, Fuchs Supersyn and Mobil Super 3000 are good, cheaper alternatives.

As a budget choice, a 10w-40 will be fine and I would either go for the Fuchs XTR, Millers XSS or Motul 6100
