1998 1.6 Polo - which oil ?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello people,

thought that it would be time to do an oilchange on my car as the last one lies over a year back now. Hence, I sort of wanted to hear around whether you have any suggestions as to what oil I should use as I am slightly unsure after having owned a Diesel over the last 7 years. I have rather little knowledge as to how often this has to be done but my feeling is that the car has done roughly 7.000k's since the last change.

I am located in the North Ryde area. How much would you blokes on here estimate for the change and oilfilter ? I just want to make sure I put the right thing in as the car is not that popular here and the garagist may not know.

All suggestions are very much appreciated and welcome.

Cheers in advance.

- Nick

misread your message

actually no mate, that's why I was posting this thread. I misread your message at the time thinking that you were asking me if the car has manual transmission !

Sorry for the confusion !
