hi ther i have a mk4 golf 1.8 20v turbo its done 126000miles im gonna do a service on y and just wonderng wat the best oil is to put init?/ i want it to run well anyonne got any ideas?/
My mk4 1.8T also has 120k and for the last 3 oil changes its running 'Fuchs' fully synthetic oil from GermanSweedishFrench car parts. They come in 4 litre bottles which is around 20 which isn't bad.
Or go with CastrolEdge 5W40 - I get all my oil from www.opieoils.co.uk - always next day delivery and a great bunch of knowledgeable guys
98085A FUCHS SUPERSYN 5W40 OIL 4L 16.50 from gsf Castrol Edge TD 5W-40 advanced synthetic engine oil (seems to be only TD for 5w40) Price: 37.28 inc vat i still think id stick with fuchs.. cos im a tight ass
now that i have (in theory) stopped all the oil leaks, i might go back to using slightly more expensive oil. i currently run mine on fuchs 10w40 semi, 13-14 for 5L. if the oil now stays in the engine ill go back to a 5w40 fully synth. mine is 99% road use, occassionally i get to thrash it a bit
