My local Walmart sells the Euro spec VW 502.00 Castrol Edge synthetic in 5 quart jugs and I think 1 quart as well. I think Mobil as well, but I stick with Castrol. Of course there is the dealer, too. You can get the cabin pollen filter there too. Very necessary this week. Advance Auto sells maybe 4 brands of full synthetic 502.00 oil. Pentosyn, I think even. Federated (formerly Robbins) will often carry it. I bought my 20,000 mile kit from the dealer so I have documentation for the warranty. Where I am, it is all sand (Granite State) so I tend to change the oil and filter and air filter and pollen filter and windshield regularly. The oil change interval is ahead of the windshield, but not by lots. I do wonder what gets through the air filter and then into the oil. It has to be good for the turbo compressor blades too.

Tires MICHELIN
Once the mintex pads had sufficiently cleaned the rotors, the pulsing was gone. Granted, they are much dustier, but I'll take that over the constant pulsing.
Same for winter tires, where I've owned Michelin, Pirelli and Continental ExtremeWinterContact, and by far I like the Conti's followed by Michelin and I'll never own another set "ever" of the Pirelli Sottozero.
Original owner of a mk6 R here :wave: my R has ~50k miles on the clock. lightly modded (see sig) and I have never had any issues other than normal wear stuff. plugs/oil/filters u know. car still feels very close to new.
For this event, I plan to bring an extra set of EBC Yellow Stuff pads, per my friend/instructor's suggestion.
Had these on my MKV and they made the car smoother too.
I had the FSD/Eibach setup on my MK5 and loved it. The FSD is a great option for those who dont want to be jolted around constantly but a super stiff suspension but still want it stiff in the corners.on highway and around town it was similar to stock but once I took a good corner it stuck it real well.
Go to the closest Autozone and ask them what size wiper blades u need, just length, then find the Bosch icon blades that have the right length with the letters "oe" after it.
I'm running PFR7Bs. I get a misfire or 3 here and there, only during low load low speed acceleration. I've got R8 coils too. Not sure if the RFD makes them occur any more frequently than they otherwise would, but I'm not worried about it.
the car is a 1996 golf gl, 5 speed, with A/C (this is relevant to the alternator spec) Original problem, car not charging and replacement alternators were no good
