For the Polo, use a 5w-40 from here, the gearbox should be fine unless the shifting is a bit lumpy

For the Golf I would use the same as above but change more frequently if tracked

most protective engine oil?

Make: VW

Model: Golf

Year: 1997 (MK3)

Engine size/type: 1.9SDi (Diesel)

Any mods: Cold Air Feed, K&N Panel Filter, Diesel Pump slightly turned up

Type of use (road/track): Road, Motorway, Rarely Hammering it

Additional info (max oil temps, current oil used)

Currently using fully synthetic (cant remember what though), Mileage just over 170K Miles

The norm would be for someting like a 10w-40 semi synthetic with regular changes, as an upgrade for better protection a 5w-40 synthetic can be used. Have a look at the likes of the Motul 8100 Xcess 5w-40 and the fuchs titan Supersyn Plus 5w-40 here http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx

hi

vw scirocco 1.8 carb 1988

no mods

fast road

i dont know the oil temp

doesnt have any form of oil cooler (some sciroccos have one on top of the filter)

its coverd 230000 miles so i put some 20w50 in it as that was advised to me by a spanner monkey

thanks rich

If the engine is in good shape despite the high miles a 10w-40 semi should be ideal with regular changes, if it uses 10w-40 then up it to 15w-50. No need to go as far as 20w-50.

Cheers

Guy

Make: vw

Model: polo

Year:1990 mk2

Engine size/type: mk3 gt engine 1272

Any mods: air filter, 4 branch with s/s system skimmed head and flywheel

Type of use (road/track) road and the engine has 250miles to be run in

atm I'm running 10w40 castrol gtx but i think i need more protection

Stick with the GTX untill run in is complete.

Then switch to a 5w-40 full synthetic, something like the Motul 8100 Xcess 5w-40 here http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx

A decent 5w-40 synthetic changed every 10,000 miles or once a year, what ever comes first.

Brand wise, Motul, Gulf, Fuchs and Silkolene well worth a look http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx
