Which Gulf competition oil do I need?
« on: April 19, 2012, 06:24:09 pm »
Could some one please help me   :love:

I have a S3 engined mk5 Golf and want to put the best performance oil in the car. I would like to take advantage of the offer Opie Oils have at the moment for 20 litres of Gulf competition engine oil.

Which oil from the following link would suit me best? In fact could someone also explain the differences please.

Thanks all  :happy2:

What's wrong with plain old Castrol Edge 5W-30?
Without traction power is nothing!

Nothing but I thought I may try something different,  I'm guessing from the responses I should just stick to the regular vw approved oils.
