I have not yet decided on what to use in my 2.0l 16V. The engine and trans have been rebuilt.
I've been using Mobil 1 Full Synthetic on my 1.8T with good results and thought I might use the Mobil 1 equivalent in the proper weight on the Golf. I had my AGB rebuilt by BrokeVW. Contrary to conventional wisdom, He suggested changing transaxle oil on a regular basis just like engine oil. He had no preference and said different trans oils work differently in each individual 020. Some like OEM, others like Redline etc. He said his experience is that they are all very different. He suggested experimenting for best results and change frequently.
