Default Oil change question

just wanted to know, as it is important that u change oil reguarly on a turbochargered engine.....
1.8 20v turbo golf, going to do a service on saturday, i have some slick 50, which is added every service.
but as i am adding this will it make any difference if i use a cheaper oil or not?
i dont mean asda shit either.... just whatever camberley auto factors suggests? any ideas? cheers Statey

slick 50 isnt worth bothering with,

and pro s is the best oil money can buy imo

rather than waste money on crappy so called adatives, just buy better oil!

not at all, perhaps you should review some of the other threads you've started & replys to others peoples threads

you start threads for the sake of it, you stir rubbish up on other sites such as the MR2OC site, and basically you seem like you're full of bullshit

Forget additives and fancy megnatec oils bullshit.

Go for a the best quality fully synthetic you can buy and change at at least every 6K miles. Some sat you dont need to do it this often but thats just crap. Shit still gets in any oil that the filter cant remove.

If I have truly cained the shit out of an engine a few times I change it every 3K.

I have built more engines than I care to remember from 48bhp A series to 530bhp zetecs and I am telling you you dont. If anything the additive is likely to cause problems on the micro fine tolerences inside the turbo, especially when switched off red hot.

queue the keyboard warrior

perhaps i should use a chalk board and spell this out to you for your little bird brain to understand.

i do not own a rover, but yes i have in the past.....but then i havent always had the luxury of owning such super cars as you clearly have

i wouldnt lower myself to pm'ing you, why would i want to do that.

perhaps you should spend the 7k on your business you are starting?

Good oil silkolene pro.
If it's not tuned, or driven too hard, would try Fuchs from GSF, very good oil for the money.
A boosted turbo I change oil at 3000 miles.
VW is fairly low power standard though so 6000 should be ok.
