06D 109 309 C. Worth changing the seal that goes with it if its the first time it's being done in the cars lifetime - WHT005184. If you damage the three bolts, then replace them too: N10624701 (X 3)

A decent quality 5W40 oil is recommended on any tuned car...  Lots of differing opinions from the cheap Quantum Platinum stuff up to the top money oils from the likes of Millers, Fuchs etc. I run the Millers Nanodrive 5W40 in mine

I cheated - quick post and a sneaky edit

Not into all that Miller's stuff..too expensive.

If rather get 10L of some other decent brand for the same price and do 2 changes over the year.

I'd rather spend the extra and not have the faff of 5k oil changes.

^^^ This, why people scrimp on oil is puzzling to me.

What's the best chipping potatoes to go with my steak?
Anyone know the part number for the 454g Ribeye from Tesco?
What's the best oil to fry the chips in?

Some people might be too young to remember, but back in the olden days, I used to have to go to a building called a 'Library' if I wanted to research something.  These days, I use a thing called 'Google', or maybe even a thing called 'Search' at the top right of the forum if I'm feeling lucky.  No, that's clearly too much like hard work isn't it?  It's better to ask a question that's been answered a eleven billionty times already.

And what do the answers even mean anyway?  Who's to say one oil is better than the next?  None of us are automotive chemical and lubrication engineers.  If 10 of us said Lard is the best lubrication to use, everyone would be like "Wow, where I can I get me some Lard?".  If 1 person says Millers. "Nah, gotta be sh*t that, no one uses it".

Oil is oil.  Does your engine care what oil is in it? No it doesn't.  All it cares about is there some in there.  Buy anything that is VW502/505 rated. The end.

How is it scrimping? I still buy decent brand oil. It's not like I go down the local asda and buy the bog standard asda own brand oil.
