[QUOTE="Steve, post: 1081842, member: 13675"] Apparently the standard on a Golf 7 GTI is a whole litre of oil between services... My 1997 Corolla RSi runs on Helix 20W-50. It's a high-mileage motor (400,000km unopened) but because of its high-revving nature (a redline of 8100RPM), the -50 oil is what's recommended to prevent foaming of the oil, which is what caused these motors to run their bearings so easily. Toyota SA stupidly recommended Castrol Magnatec, which is known to foam at high RPM, but that's because of the paid partnership between Castrol and Toyota. [/QUOTE]
