I'm currently running Castrol GTX 5w-40 fully synthetic Click and I am very happy with it. If you have start up rattle 5w40 will get rid of it

how much oil do i need

 

[S4twiggy]

with the V8 you will prob need around 8 litres mate, a 1.8T takes 5 litres(5 Cylinder) mine takes 6 litres(6 cylinder) so yours is prob 8 litres(8 cylinder)

id recommend either Quantum Platinum or Mobil 1 ESP.

quantum platinum from TPS is something around £18 for 5litres so a big saving on the major brands

1.8T takes 5 litres(5 Cylinder)

1.8t is a 4 pot
shame thou i love 5 pots

 

[dsmclark40v]

you need around 9.7 litres. our V8's take a lot of oil!
