tarcase Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 What type of engine oil do you use for a non-turbo please anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golddigga Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Hi mate, I was advised by a mechanic on the forum to use magnatec 10 40 You will need around 5.5 litres if you are replacing the oil filter - which is obviously advisable. Set me back around £40. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golddigga Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Silkolene Pro S 5w-40 6.5 litres http://www.opieoils.co.uk I was originally advised to go for this but in an N/A the magnatec will be fine and a bit easier on the £ However, I believe the story is different for a TT.

Sheefa Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 See this thread mate: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=110863&highlight=oil+guide Alex also put a brilliant guide together here http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=56684 Looks like you really want some Fully Synthetic 5w30-10w40 (Silkolene or similar) with an interval change at around 8-9,000 miles.

oilman Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 10w-40 semi will be ok if you cange within ever 5k or so, dont bother with Magantec, over priced and not all that. A well branded 10w-40 will be just as good. Ideally though a 5w-40 synthetic and they may be cheaper then you think, we have then around £30 for good quality 5w-40 oils. Cheers Guy.
