i put in some cheapish halfords own oil… i think it was 10w40… or 15w50

one of the two, it runs okay, but could be better if on better oil (like the above)

Quantum Syntra SAE 10w-40 from GSF.

Not sure but they may have changed brand by now, when I got the last lot they said something about changing over, but I wanted the Quantum so didnt pay too much notice.

marked up as VW505.00 approved
