MarkGolf 0 Posted January 8, 2009 Hello For my 3.0 VR which will be rotrex'd.. What really is the best oil, now I know I always hear about Synta Silver but is it really the best stuff for an engine which is driven quite hard and rev'd high? 10w-40 or 5w-40? Also, what plugs, again, now I've always believed a spark is a spark so I've got the recommended NGK ones but would I be better off getting some Denso iridium things? Cheers!

Supercharged 2 Posted January 8, 2009 VW have just started selling Quantum Platinum oil which is a 5W 40 and replaces Synta Gold and PD Diesel, cheap too at £15 for 5 Ltrs I'd give that a try as you as you know the engine seals etc are in good condition. I think Golf 16V plugs are the ones to use with a Charged VR but Kevhaywire is probably the best person to ask. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted January 9, 2009 My oil recommendations for forced induction VR6s :- Stock pistons - Silkolene Pro S 10W/50 Forged Pistons - Castrol Edge Sport 10W/60 My recommendation for plugs on forced induction VR6s:- Cheap but excellent, need regapping every 2K - NGK V Power R5671A - Heat grade 7 up to 15psi. Heat grade 8 up to 20psi, Heat grade 9 20psi + Expensive, but fit and forget - Bosch F5DPOR (Audi S2 plugs) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
