I just bought a 2001 VW Golf GTI 1.8T. It has 93K on it and I want to perform the Auto-RX treatment to ensure it is clean. I noticed under the oil cap, there are some signs of sludge. I will feel better knowing I did what is necessary to ensure that the 1.8T is cleaner.
Is the correct process I should follow? http://auto-rx.com/pages/heavy_sludge_app.html
I need to know what oil you all recommend for the clean/rinse phase. I hope it is not synthetic. I cannot justify spending that much to have it drained after only 3K miles.
Would I be better off using something like Marvel Mystery Oil and a synthetic with strong cleaning agents?
Am I on the right track here? I'm open to suggestions.
