Buzzark 0 Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 ive always put in mobil 1 fully synth 10w50& i must admit i havent heard of the others listed (i dont even think we have them here)(Quantam)Synta Silver is what they left the factory with, and the fully synthetic is the next step up - both available from your local VW dealership. Actually, the silver isn't badly priced either, that's what I run on.If your engine is nice and tight and you can afford it, go with a fully synthetic and your hydraulic followers will thank you for it.Remember to flush first is going from a semi.

mrwookie 0 Posted May 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Changed to Quantum Silver today and flushed the engine at the same time and by god does it make a difference. The engine purrs now. Cheers guys. Link to post Share on other sites
