6N2 Polo GTI - Engine Oil?

Post by SooperDR »

About to do an Oil Service on my 6N2 Polo GTI.

Now I do know the difference between the types of Oils, but what is the best oil to use?

Is 5w-40 Fully Synthetic or 10w-40 Part Synthetic the Norm for these Engines?

10W40 Semi Synthetic is the oil to use.

10w40 Synta Silver Oil can be picked up from TPS for around £13 (believe its a 5l can) :)

I would have though you'd be lucky to get 5l of oil for £13 :s

5L of synta silver costs me £8 at TPS trade price - retail stores are so overpriced for oil.
20L costs me £30 at TPS - puts it into perspective
