CaptainK 11 Posted January 8, 2008 I've had my 205 1.9 GTi converted to a GTi6 now and I'm looking for a good oil to keep it running right, and how much of it? I'd guess 5 litres. The car will mainly be used as a daily driver, BUT I'm intending on finally doing some track time this year. So if any of you guys & gals with GTi6 engines could advise me I'd appreciate it. I'm guessing fully synthetic would be best for when on a track ? Cost of oil isn't TOO much of a problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miles 331 1 Cars Posted January 8, 2008 Well I use Fuch's XTR 10/40, And after having a customer's car abit with a Mi16 engine in drive for about 10+ miles with no oil pressure due to a snapped oil pump drive chain (Joys of scrappy engines) and upon repalcing the pump and chain it started up and ran fine, Can't say better than that.

CaptainK 11 Posted January 8, 2008 Well I use Fuch's XTR 10/40 Thats the other one I was thinking of - its semi synth I believe. I was looking at Silkolene Pro S 5w40 fully synth for my GTi6. Yes, I know 10w40 is the norm, but my Pug does a few short journeys and I thought the low temperature viscosity difference would help compared to 10w40. Its the same "hot" viscosity, so it should be fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
