5w40 (ie Quantum Platinum meeting VW 502 00 spec) is correct for 10K fixed service intervals. I use Quantum Longlife III 5w30 (VW 504 00 spec) and change every 10K anyway, although this (as the name suggests) is intended for longlife service intervals. Having seen what 18K 'long life' oil changes do to an engine, that's not for me! I will though, use an oil that the manufacturers reckon will last that long, on the basis that its going to be in much better condition after 10K than an oil which will only last 10K.

Plugs are Bosch FGR6KQE. Euro Car Parts are good for these if you can catch them when there's a discount code on.
