How long are you going to be leaving the oil in the car?

Depends on whether you believe that longlife servicing is a good idea on a turbocharged car.

Audi/VW Synta Gold 10W/40 is what I use (and my chosen specialist MRC)changed at no more than 10000 mile intervals.

Normally also have an interim change at 5000 miles for £50 at Kwikfit - they use a Mobil 5W/30 fully synthetic. Good value at £50

Usually I'll drop the oil every 12months (roughly 5-6k miles )

My last service was @MRC so i'd guess it's on the Synta right now.
