carrots 1 Posted September 12, 2011 not sure about a vr6 but my 16v took 2 litres of 75w 90w and it made a big differance so i would def do it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redfox 10 Posted September 12, 2011 I changed the gearoil on my former Mk. II Golf religiously, and probably made it last longer in the end, plus better sounding and shifting. Fully synt. oil. Cheers, Redfox. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted September 12, 2011 You'll need two litres.... though I don't think it takes quite that much... something like 1.6L or around there. I've been very happy with Redline MT90! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
