Fluids and Filters...questions inside..
At the point where I can move ahead with filling the B5 up with oil, and coolant..
I will be pickup up some G12 tonight at the dealer. I searched the forums for a good mix, water/G12. Thought I would ask around for a consensus on how much raw G12 and water I should use.
As for the oil, I will pick up some Mobile 1 0w40, and filter. Suggestions for the filter? from dealer? or from auto parts supplier?
Cheers,
Joel

I am running a M1 oil filter which looks like it was updated when VW/Audi
advised on using a larger oil filter for the 1.8T. I used 1 gallon of G12 and almost 1 gallon fo distilled water when I did my TB/Waterpump/T-stat etc change this past weekend. I've also switched to castrol syntec 5W-40 as it now meets Audi/VW standard.
