+1 for Magnatec 10w, been using it since 1996 in the 1.8
Oil changes every 3000 miles
Turbo went on at 71,000 miles (not km) and now at 150k the engine is as sweet as a nut, revs freely, has perfect emissions. No smoke or coolant usage.
I tried Mobil-1 at about 40k but got leaks from the CAS, so switched back to good ol' Magnatec

I just saw this
With all the shite thrown at my comments here for this post concerning oil well, I was right after all.
