SAE 75w-90. Buy it from the dealers, it will be the correct one then and probably cheaper than a lot of motor factors IMHO.
The capacity is approx 2 litres.

My local dealer doesn't carry vw oils etc only Mobil One and that's it! I went in for some Synta and they just looked at me blankly.

Surprised at that, challenge them and order some on the 24 hour scheme!

Mate has suggested the genuine VW gear oil, anyone any experiences?

Mate in carparts said there's actually a special 75/90 listed for it so he's getting me some in.
