There is no oils with proper vw standard (vw 506.01 or higher) with 0W20 so I would not put it in my engine. If you can find a oil with proper vw spec please let me know. If it fulfills the standard then it should be ok. I will propably put next time Agip 7007 0W-30 which is cheapest or new 0W-30 from agip which is called i-sint tech. Newer oil should be better so might try that new version.

Red Line Synthetic Oil - Gear Oil for Manual Transmissions - MTL 70W80 GL-4 Gear Oil

For gearbox I will try redline MTL which is 70W80, but still fulfills API GL-4. VW recommends 75W90. If you have balls to test the best option would be redline shockproof light.Red Line Synthetic Oil - Gear Oil for Manual Transmissions - Lightweight ShockProof®

Gearbox oil change interval is 30000km if I have proper data.

Rest of lupo mods will be revealed at x-treme motor show at the end of september. Target bar is set to 1st price trophy in some category!.

X-Treme.fi

Mods that I will try to finish to the show:
- Controllable air dam
- New tires + wicked rim wheelcovers
- wicked "decals" all over the car
- Little bit of painting
- window tinting
etc.

I will update the fuel log all the time but no pictures will not come before the show .
