My 1.8T Mk4 Ibiza will be soon in need of an engine oil change, and was wondering what oil you reckon I should use.

The car is modified (should be seeing around 240bhp at time of change) so I don't want to skimp.
I'm also after some cooler spark plugs (irdium/platinum). What kind of price could you do for a set of 4, plus the correct amount of the oil you recommend?

Thanks

A 5w-40 is the best option

Out of those, the best ones are the Fuchs/Silkolene Pro S, Millers CFS, Motul 300V, Redline and Gulf Competition. The Motul 8100 X-Cess, Millers XFS, Fuchs Supersyn, Shell Helix and Mobil Super 3000 are good, cheaper alternatives.

Here are some upgraded plugs

You pay the members prices on everything on the site.

Glad to help. If you're ordering now, the Millers CFS is a good option as it comes with a free litre bottle if you buy 5L

Received my order today, thank you

Do these spark plugs I ordered need to be 'gapped' (if so, do you know the size?) or are there good to plug in as they are?

Thanks

They should be fine already
