[Mk2] [Turbo] Best oil for rev2 turbo

Post by markstevieandmads »

My new rev2 turbo is due an oil change. Im also hoping this will fix the oil leak it has too (im hoping for filter).

Ive read conflicting info on the net on what oil to use.

What do you guys recommend?

thanks

it comes up with 10w 40 semi synth.

I did read somewhere to use 5w 30 fully synth.

looks like 10w40 semi is the one to use then.

would 5w40 full syn be ok as it's only a few quid more than 5w30
