Best? I've been using Magnatec and it has been performing ok - no tappet noise. Wear and tear can only be seen once it's too late.... :D
I'm planning getting something fully synth next time just to see.
The donk has 165 G km on it and uses no oil at all. But I also change (oli) every 5G or 4/5 months anyway.
Seen any K&N oil filters for 3.Gen yet?

I have used the synthetic stuff before but i always end up useing the magnatech.. its makess the car run so much smother and quiter! and its half the price

I just put in magnatech, definatly a big improvement over the previous oil (which was only 5,000kms old). I like it, but I wouldn't use it for a car thats done over 180,000kms coz it would be way too thin.

mines done 135,000

still good eh?

I just did my service for 135 000 kms myself a week or so ago. I don't think I did all the nessecary things tho :confused: Routine oil change, oil filter, radiator, spark plug change (I used cheapo NGK normal ones this time), checked brakes, leads, ATF etc...all was happy as larry...well, i thought it was anyways :P

As for engine oil, I used to use Penrite HPR15, but for some reason I changed to Magnatec...I'm thinking of changing back even tho I can't really feel a difference between the two :nuts:
