right just rang my local vw dealer and spoke to a nice informative guy for a change  the oil is synta 5w40 they recommend 10w40!!he cant understand that either, but we both agreed on the right stuff lol anyway its SYNTA GOLD 5W 40 FULLY SYNTHETIC PART NUMBER ZGB115QLB00421 PRICE £28.01 FOR 5 LITRES...£14 odd for 1litre thats what i was sold before when they wrongly told me u can only buy it fom vw in 1 litre bottles!!

I have mine changed at the local garage using magnatec 10-40 £25.00 is this ok for the gti turbo

i personally wud use 5w40 f/s synta mate n not magnatec 10w40 mite cost abit more but will give better protection.......doing an oil change is really easy id get the 5l bottle from vw for £28 then either get a garage to do the change or get a filter and do it urself £35 max if money's tight 

[bobbarley]

I don't even know where the oil filter is!! 

[oliver07]

think its in the engine had a question on this at the pub quiz not sure if i got it right

[K666PDP]

the oil filter is at the front of the engine pop the bonnet look under the dipstick u'll see it! u can't miss it bout the size of a can of baked beans lol 

[bobbarley]

Can it be removed by hand?

[oliver07]

if put on byu a garage most of the time yes but some people tighten them too much you need to use a oil filter tool can gey these from halfords
