First oil change after re-build

Hi there,

My Mk1 Gti has just done 1000 miles from a recent rebuild. I was wondering what oil would be best. Its a turbo technics 8v. New Turbo/Engine. Not sure if it would be any different from doing a normal oil change. Thanks you

Hi Panth,
Just use a top quality synthetic oil i guess.
Don't forget that with a turbo after an oil or filter change you need to turn the engine over-without it starting! to get oil pressure to the turbo bearings, disable dizzy?- until oil light goes out, then start.
p.s I think I met you at a show this year, (I had the orange driver 1.3) and I loved your Turbo Technics car!!
Marcus.

Hi Marcus, yes we met at the show this year. Thanks for the complement. Your car is on another level! Hope it's running well.

Thanks for the reply. Good point about the turbo. Hope to see you soon.
