Which oil do you non-GTi folk use?

Post by aaronon »

I was just wondering what's best? Do we go for the kind of obvious choice Castrol.. Or is there a better one?

Thanks :)

I use Castrol. Purely because that's what VW recommend.
Although I don't think it matters to much with non-GTI Polos as they are not exactly old or high-performance cars are they?
