VW of course, but GSF also carry Quantum oils and may be a bit cheaper. There are branches in Hornsey, Brixton and Kingston. There are loads of decent motors factors out there too that should have a fair choice of oils.

Any GSF do Quantum 15W40 It is in a blue plastic can. Thier Man filters are good too.

Don't use the Morris, GSF have stopped doing the Quantum in place of Fusch oil, this is the correct oil as per the VW factory.

I will be off down the local GSF then to stock up.

Steve is the Fusch oil just as good as the Quantum? I had no problems with the Quantum and a bit loath to change to somthing I do not know.

Fuchs is a German company ... probably the same one who made Quantum Oil for VW (who don't actually manufacture oil) ? ... they have now taken over several UK companies including Silkolene who made the engine oil for Concorde ... if they say their oil is up to the job then believe me it'll be fine.

Any "branded "15w40 or 15w50 should be of more than enough quality..
Quantum used to be cheaper than that tho'....

Look in the wiki
