Hey everyone,

I recently purchased this 2007 Golf V 2.0 FSI which is in pretty good condition for its age. The previous owner didn't know anything about mechanic, but he did service the car regularly at his local indie mechanic.

However I noticed that when the car was last...

Hey all,

I've got a Mk3 Scirocco R, same EA113 motor as the Golf Mk6 R. Factory recommended oil is 5w-30 VW504/507. Mechanic has just recommended I change to a 5w-40 as the car is pushing higher mileage and a 5w-40 will be better for it. My problem is I can't find any fully synthetic...

Hi all,

I've recently bought a '92 Mk2 GTI 8v and would like to do a service on it. I just wanted to see what engine oil and manual transmission fluid others are using.

I've done some looking and so far I'm leaning toward using Nulon Full Synthetic 10W-40 Hi-Tech Fast Flowing,...

Hi all,

I heard DQ200 engine had problem because it uses synthetic oil and the fix was to use mineral/semi synthetic oil. Is this for the gearbox oil or engine oil?

Choosing the right engine oil for your car can seem like a daunting task, especially with the number variations and scientific terminology adorning each bottle of engine oil lining the shelves at your local automotive store. That’s why Motul have devised their new range of premium everyday 100% synthetic...

Greetings. Can anyone confirm that Penrite HPR 10 Full Synthetic 10W-50 is OK for this vehicle,please.
I've been using Penrite 15W-50 Diesel which is a semi synthetic. Both comply with VW 502.00 and 505.00. The full synthetic HPR 10 complies with VW 500.00 as well.
Thanks in anticipation....

Anybody else run 5W40 synthetic oil in their GTI?

Yes, I know in Australia VW recommend 504/507 5W30.
