thescrapman Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 The sump holds about 5 litres, just about the same as a full can.But... there are better products available than the Halfords 20/50 for similar prices.CheersColin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE HORNET 81 Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 Thanks Colin,are we talking duckhams and some of the other brands of oil in terms of better quality? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrapman Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 I have been using Millers Classic Sport 20/50, which I think is now 20/60. But that is more expensive. Valvo line VR1 is very good, and comes up at a decent price via Euro Car Parts. Watch for the discount codes. Free delivery usually, or click and collect at your local branch.(Just checked. HOT30 is todays code. www.eurocarparts.com. £23 for 5 litres.)Do you have the Original oil filter still, or a conversion?If converted I think VW Golf ones fit (need to check years) and they are a couple of quid each at ECP.CheersColin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Jones Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Yep, Golf 1, 2 & 3 1.6, 1.8 and 2.0L oil filters fit. This is what I use.Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greeks Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Mr Hornet, in case you misunderstood Colin's referring to whether you have converted the standard oil filter housing to a spin-off conversion like this: http://www.chriswitor.com/proddetail.php?prod=CW2525If so, then, and only then, can you use the VW Golf filters.
