Do oil brands differ much in quality? The prices certainly do for the same quantity? What brands do people recommend? (50 10/40)
Cheers.

No thats too thin, 10w40 at the lowest.
IIRC it was 15w40 in the ph.1 manual, the one and only time I bothered to check.

I have used Valvolene Durablend 10w40 in all my cars for the past 20 years.. including 2 306 D-turbos and a GTi-6 which has done 140,000 hard miles in my ownership. Can't fault it.
clicky.
