robrado974 1 Posted February 14, 2016 There is a guide in the search for the best oil , it depends on mileage etc . As for the plugs I don't think you can go wrong with NGK ,I've used them on every service I've done on my car . Or TPS plugs , I can't remember which ones they sell , but they will be excellent quality . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swiftkid 1 Posted February 14, 2016 Ngk for plugs Quantum 10/40 if you have a healthy engine and don't go thrashing it Fully synthetic 10/50 and your engine is either getting on a bit or you like to thrash it and see regular high oil temps. Best bet is to have a read through the oil advice thread as people have much better advice but that's what I would advise Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ray1965 10 Posted February 14, 2016 John i did my oil change opted for VW's Synta 10/40, £22 for 5litres and don't forget you need approx 6.2 litres if i'm correct, also got the filter as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
massbad69 10 Posted February 14, 2016 VW Commercial do Synta 5 litres for a tenner at Volksfling Car show in Scotland every year. Total bargain :dance: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 1 Posted February 14, 2016 Synta 10W40 and the NGK BKR5EUP's should see you right! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Too Tall 10 Posted February 18, 2016 I hope I didn't get some bad info, but I read a thread on the vortex and everyone was saying 0W40 synthetic was the best. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Langdon 0 Posted February 19, 2016 Don't use full synthetic mate in a VR they were never designed to run on that that oil is far to thin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Too Tall 10 Posted February 20, 2016 Just in time, I was going to go change my oil today. Back to the parts store I go. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matteusVR6 11 Posted February 20, 2016 I got a box of 4 X 5ltr Quantum Synta for £54.50 delivered at the following . . . http://www.caffynsskodaparts.co.uk/mobile/product/Quantum_Synta_10W40_Oil__Box_4_ZGB115QLB00406-4 Thought that was pretty reasonable to stock for 2 oil changes plenty left for top ups!

john46 10 Posted February 20, 2016 Was that semi synthetic oil you got Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Too Tall 10 Posted February 20, 2016 Castrol Edge full synthetic 0W40, but I'm changing it to the standard oil 10W40. I ran Royal Purple 10W30 and spun a bearing on my first engine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
