Given that it's almost guaranteed that this was not a turbo engine originally (the lack of factory air filter is another clue) she'll run hotter than usual and so a quality oil is a good investment.
All of the 8100 series Motul oils are ester based. I will only run the x-cess 8100 5w40 in my GTI.
i have run 300v in my engine since 2005 when it was first built no seal issues
I run Motul in both my 8 valves, 5w40 year round, it's awesome stuff.
Switch to Motul and hear the difference.
I don't know what all you others guys are doing but I run 5w40 full synthetic Motul. Best stuff... the people who said they seem to burn oil should try 5w40 synthetic, many people have shown improvements with it. I run it to 10,000 kms or 6K miles and the stuff still looks good.
I used to use Esther based Motul products and have nothing but good things to say. I've since switched to Lubro Moly since it's easier to get locally and is cheaper.
i run 0w30 in my jetta 2.0. fully synth. have for 33,000 miles, no problems, other then better gas mileage
oil consumption is way down since i've been using 300v.. and the smell isn't bubble gum.. it's burnt popcorn
Been running 300V in all my cars including my GTI Best oil ever IMHO You'll notice a power difference when you switch form Castrol to 300V
