    They aren't that fussy really. As mentioned they orinially just used regular glycol antifreeze (usually blue) and they are also fine on OAT. But I would not bother with HOAT or anything else.

    They are not very fussy on coolant.

    Regular blue glycol, or OAT is fine. Important thing is not mix different types of coolants. Always drain and replace if you are unsure what is in there.

    Yes you can use the VW507.00 in place of the 506.01. The 506.01 was the longlife oil for pd engines before the dpf's were introduced, once they came on the scene the VW507.00 was brought into action...

    Hi

    Not really. The Syn 5 has probably been the most popular over the years, but there's not a lot in it.

    Hi

    I'd probably see what it's like with a 5w-40, but if you find it burns a lot of oil, then a 10w-50 is a better option.

    Hi Simon

    The VR1 20w-50 is really good stuff, but not for your car. It gives very little cold start protection, so not a good option for a daily driver.

    A 10w-50 is ideal for your car and these...

    Hi

    A quality oil like the Pro S will hold it's viscosity better when hot, so no need to worry about the track use.
