Thanks for the help, the stuff I've bought is fully synthetic.  Can someone tell me what the difference is between fully and part synthetic please?

Thanks!

Part synthetic degrades faster as it contains mineral oil as well as synthetic. It also will not take kindly to the higher temperatures that a high performance engine will subject it to. It is okay in the short term, but even VW has moved away from part synthetic for the GTI.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.
