Best oil for the GTI

[Nodz]

My local stealer used Shell 5w30 but I'm now using the Millers nanodrive 5w40

Don't all dealer have to use quantum oil as that's their own brand

[Nodz]

You would've thought that but as dealers are franchises they can technically use what they want as long as it meets the correct spec

Using 5w40 Millers nano drive. Seems to prefer it to the quantum stuff.

essex & suffolk dealers are using shell oil. Seems shell have worked closely with vw to produce a DPF friendly oil to 507.01 spec
get mine from moto-oil.co.uk

I'm not too choosy on oil and have run many brands over the years with no ill, or really noticeable effects to mention on any of my 13 GTi's, BMW's or subaru's.

I got this last month.  Seems slick and pricey so must be good?!!!

Millers is the best you can get .
Castrol seem to be having issues with motorcycle products at the moment .

I use Castrol Edge 5w 30 in my GTI,  but my girlfriends dad swears by Millers and he will use nothing else in his Porsche. If its good enough for Porsche then it must be ok for a GTI.

Millers has a good rep. Pricey though. You can usually get Edge on offer somewhere.
