Which oil should I buy for my VW golf 3 1997 model?
What if I don't have money to buy the recommend oii, should I go for mineral oil and which mineral oil? Please.

Mineral based oil will do the work. 20W50 but drain at 4-5000kms

For the cars you've used then. I have had cars in the workshop with camshaft related codes and loss if power that got fixed just by changing the oil to manufacturer's specs. Nothing else was done. Some of those customers are from Nairaland. I also support sticking to manufacturer's recommendations.
Some manufacturers recommend 20w50.

We only have EDGE, MAGNATEC and GTX... That Magnatec GTX is advanced blend tailored for US Clime... Just Like GTX 20W50 is tailored for West and Central African Market.


Bros; go for Edge Professional 5W30 or 5W20..(but 5W30 is preferable cuz of the range), you will get the result you need.

Am asking you why you guys don't have gtx Magnatec ? You telling me Magnatec stands out. ....on the European label your 5w30 says Magnatec and the USA label it says GTX Magnatec ..what is the difference bro ... abi na just labeling or false advert ..or because the gtx magnatec exceeds or has better protection than Magnatec .... Am waiting sir

Its not false advert... its like a HYBRID. Just like combining the features of the two ranges (GTX and Magnatec) in a single product. Thats just the secret.

GTX has its strength in fighting SLUDGE while magnatec has intelligent molecules as its strength. These clings on the bodies to be lubricated even when the engine is off for a long time. Thus, at the first motion of your engine mechanisms, there is protection from the start.

Exactly.. But the synthetic oil sellers will not let us hear word..

Dru's former fleet manager sludged up his engines by not replacing oil as at when due.. Since then, he has been all over nairaland claiming 20w-50 damaged his engines and his miracle mobil 1 saved him grin grin


5k naira oil vs 24k naira .... I think I will go for the more expensive ones ....local mechanic when did complain about engine trouble sir after using Mobil 1 extended performance? Lol ...The local mechanic of nairaland...

So you agree that gtx magnatec (USA,) is better than your Magnatec ?

Yes, many times for older models. My issue wasn't about the oil, my post was about manufacturer's recommendations.
