Default What oil do you guys use in your ITR?

I've used Redline in the past for my GTI VR6.

I was wondering what oil brand you use and what weight. Also please indicate the typical climate in your location.

I would just buy a case of redline to save money. case ~ $100 but they would give me a volume discount since i was buying a case every 6months or so :chuckles:

Been using Mobil1 Synthetic but I'll be switching to Amsoil full-synth racing oil whenever I change my oil this weekend

Now if I could only find a HAMP oil filter...
