SW VR6 0 Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 Think you'll find most people on here use Synta Silver semi synthetic. I posted on this a while back (see link below). http://www.vr6oc.com/forum_viewtopic.php?10.44564 Link to post Share on other sites
badboyV6 4 Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 Not another oil post - arrrgghhhhhh!!!! Synta gold was used for all VR6's at my local VW franchise (when they were available new) Probably kinder to use a semi like synta silver nowadays. Link to post Share on other sites
