The grade varies between different oil companies, the best one is generally agreed to be Total Quartz 9000 5w40.

i was using castrol 5w-40 for two years and my gti was burning it up like crazy. basically had to top it up every 2 months. I've since switched to valvoline 10w-40 and its a major difference as it doesn't get burnt up much at all. Been thinking of giving Shell a try too as my peugeot garage uses shell.

I found a really good website for this its called opie oils

link : www.opieoils.co.uk/pro...der-2.aspx

Just find your car and it comes up with the correct type of oil. Hope this helps

EDIT: Also tells you how much you need to put in so youu dont overfill or underfill it
