Best oil grade?
Hi everyone, just wondering what the best oil to put in my Rocco? It's a GT2, on a k plate with 89k miles on the clock. Currently running with 10/40 should I use a thicker oil like Halfords' new classic car oil?

VW Synta Silver is perfect for the job, 10/40 semi-synthetic and a damn sight cheaperthan Halfords, I usually pay around £16-£17 for 5 litres from the dealers and always use a genuine VW oil filter!

Yup, 10w40 semi synth is the way to go. Currently on offer in Asda at 12 quid for a gallon of magnatec
