Guest T120 Posted January 28, 2005 Report Posted January 28, 2005 Yes the oil is a 10W 40 semi synthetic, I use Quantum which I get from my local VW dealer. I use that oil as its a VW engine and the oil is to VW specs. :D Try and keep the oil to the top of the stick, apparently if a Turbo engine is over filled the oil can affect the Turbo, read this somewhere on this site. :D Also make sure the vehical is on a flat surface. :D I have also found out that if I measure the oil on an oil change top up the filter, fit it and then fill the engine to the top mark run it for a while to circulate the oil then recheck and top up to the mark its approximatly 4Ltrs not 4.3 as the book says when changing oil & filter, this is using the larger type filter not the ordenary standard one. :D Best of luck.
