What oil are you guys using? 10k miles. I plan on driving it pretty hard.

I use Mobil 1 5W-40 full synthetic in the cars I service.

Castrol 5-40 here with great results.

mobile 1 never let me down, and seems like everybody is using 5-40

Mobil's 5-40 is for diesel trucks the last time I checked.

The manual recommends...

- 5W-40 for normal use -- in particular, API grade CF/SJ (or newer, since those grades are about a decade old now -- see [1] for more)
- 0W-?? for cold weather use -- think freezing temperatures
- 20W-60 for racing use -- think redline engine temperatures

Since AGIP (which is mentioned in the manual and on the engine bay sticker) is hard to come by in the US, most folks use other brands.

I top off with Mobil (which I can get at the local VW dealer, for ~$30 for 6x 1 liter).

The only other fluid I "stock" is blue Pentosin G11 coolant (which I order from Amazon). Typically only need a bit in November, when the cold season starts, and my car likes to drip a bit for a few days. :-)
