    For a turbo car with mileage above 100k km I would recommend a viscosity around 15w40 or so . 10W30 would be a little too thin . Since your car is a early b5 it would be worth while to check the oil feed pipe to the turbo as well as they tend to get blocked with higher kms . As for the oil type I like to use Fuchs

            I run Mobil 1 5~50 on my tuned 1.8t - I'd recommend going the same or 0~40.

            Just make sure you get a good quality synthetic!

            I get my Mobil 1 for ~$60, or cheaper if supercheapauto have a 20% off sale.
