what oil should I use in a VR6 gti 6 speed? I went to the shell station to get the oil changed today because they do oil changes for 20 dollars. He told me since my car was a VW it would cost 50. this is unacceptable so I told him I'd do it myself. anyway, he said I needed a 5w40 oil, I'm not sure so I figured I would post here.

The spec should be in your owner's manual. O0

VW has a certain spec oil they prefer in their engines. VW 503 I believe.

http://www.pdm-racing.com/products/motuloil.html <--- I'm using the 8100 on my next oil change.

IIRC Castrol full synth 5w40 is what is recommended on the r32 motor.

Edit/Correction: This is the VW spec oil from Motul: http://www.motorspotstore.com/sp500wvwgasa.html
