Hello there oil experts.
This is my first post, reading around now for a few weeks and now ready to ask some questions.
I'm from Holland so my english isn't perfect, excuse me for that!
I've got a '01 Volkswagen Lupo GTI. 1.6 16v engine with standard 125 horsepower.
Done some little performance improvements like a spaghetti manifold, Cold air intake and a sports catalic converter. Runned it @ the dyno and pushing out 152 HP atm.
Next week i'm bringing it to the chiptuning to maximize the ECU's potential with the mods, looking towards 160/165 hp.
I'm running Total Quartz 9000 5W40 now, because i can get this cheap at my work, and i believe it's a fine oil. Only thing i don't like is that it isn't a Fully synthetic oil.
Almost any oil can go in my engine according different oil search websites
Allowed according the total website:
QUARTZ 9000 5W-40
QUARTZ 9000 ENERGY 0W-30
QUARTZ INEO LONG LIFE 5W-30
QUARTZ 7000 10W-40 ( only between - 15 and +15 celcius )
QUARTZ INEO MC3 5W40
QUARTZ INEO 504/507 5W-30
QUARTZ 9000 ENERGY 5W-40
QUARTZ INEO MC3 5W-30
Brand doesn't bother me, but the Total will be the cheapest way to go. I can get the 5W40 and others for $5.14 per litre.
I'm a sporty driver, it redlines past 7500 RPM, and it goes there often.
Ofcourse i drive the car very soft until the engine oil has reached the right temperature.
Hope that you guys can suggest me the right oil. Engine is running very smooth.
115k miles on it.
Thanks in advance
Edit: I forgot to mention that i've used Petronas Syntium 0w30 last winter, used a little bit more oil, but a more silent valvetrain the firt 2 seconds @ cold start.
