5W30 fully synth is longlife oil and what VW recommend BUT I know Alex @ AKS recommends millers 5W-40 nanodrive for modded cars as they tend to run hotter. Or something like that.

I've just put 4 of these on my Winter wheels and they're sat in the garage waiting for the crappy weather to arrive. I'm really interested to see how they perform in the snow! :happy2:
