Hi I just bought a 2001 golf mk4 2.0L 8v and was wondering which oil and oil filters to use. Ive done alot of searching and castrol edge 5w40 seems to be ok right? also which oil filters should I use and where can I purchase them? Im from Sydney btw. cheers.

Mate the price you will pay for a crap filter you cant go wrong genuine, 06A115561B should pay around $20, , get a new sump plug and you can use Penrite HPR5.

And where would I go about getting those from? What do you mean by a new sump plug, why would I need to change it?

Google would probably tell you if you did a search on Penrite oil stockists Sydney but
Autobarn or Supercrap and because VW says you should as the crush washer is not removable and should be replaced so you do the lot About $4.50 worth so why not

I am able to get the oil from supercheap but what about the sump plug and oil filter?

Your local VW dealer will have them on the shelf.
