No worries. Use any synth you can afford. I've used Amsoil, Havoline, Mobil1 in the 1.8T hot rod and there may be some differences but I'm not worried.

I put the Wal-Mart Super Tech Synth (which is Quaker State) in my other non-turbo cars and it's slippery as hell.

I've changed the synth at 7,500 - 10,000 and it's just as slippery as when it went in. I should change the filter at 5,000 or less but I always forget to. Anyway, doesn't VW/Audi recommend 7,500 mile intervals with dino oil on the 1.8T?

Later, Rich
