    need some help here fellas, what engine oil would you guys recomend.

    i'm not sure which would be best to use, i'm thinking either Penrite or Motul, i know redline would be best, but at over 100 bucks a pop, maybe not :wacko:.

    doing a major service this weekend, engine flush, radiator flush, radiator hose, breaks, power steering, oil filter, plugs, but the plenum pull seems a bit dawnting :wacko::unsure::sick:, i'm not sure how brave i will be feeling when i do the service. :(

    anyways, cheers fellas

    Valvoline full synthetic 15W50...>>

    it's a bargain at $25 for a 5 litre container thanks to RedZedMickey. I change the oil and filter every 5000 km

    Cheers

    Best:

    Amsoil and Redline i would think.

    Amsoil have a 40,000km change interval with their oil. I probably wouldn't run it for that long on one change but easy to 10,000 - 15,000km and when you have less oil changes the extra money for the oil makes it worth it.

    I know someone in perth who ran an engine for 300,000km on one oil change using Amsoil if that says anything (not a high performance car though)

    I was thinking of using motul 300V but...

    Is it only recommended for a TT?, does anyone use it on their NA?

    Cheers

    If it's good for a TT, I'm sure it's good for a N/A

    Both engines are the same generation. The only difference, as I understand it is that you could space oil changes to 10k instead of 5. This is because turbos last longer with clean oil. Having said that, I still change the oil in my N/A every 5k.

    cheers,

    Used penrite 15/60 $30 for 5L works well for turbos
