I've just bought my 6N2 valver and am going to change the oil...what kind would you recommend? I used to use synta silver in my mk4, but am not sure as to what type, weight etc to use in this car...

In the GTi, I use Castrol GTX Magnatec semi-synthetic, if it's of any help? 10W40 IIRC.
Missed your post first time round, sorry 'bout that...
Cheers

cool, thanks for the opinions. Does anyone know if the 16v takes the same weight as the gti? If not what weight should i get?

also, when asking the same question about my mk4 a while back everyone said magnatec is pish compared to synta, is this not the case for mk5s?
