K kickster Joined May 23, 2004 Messages 300 Location toronto Jul 6, 2004 #1 I posted a topic about what oil I should be using in my 1993 high mileage VW Eurovan! I hear good stuff about GTX HM oil. Is this a good choice for the van? Or should I go with AMSOIL 5W40 E.Formula? Money is not big issue for me.
