Fixed or variable servicing?

is there a difference a buddy a VW man is servicing it for me he tells me its a super thin oil for this engine i would tend to service it anually as i only cover about 8000 a year

Its a non PD engine the 110. So if you are aiming for fixed servicing (10k or annual) then a good quality 10w40 oil will be fine. The silver Quantum oil that VAG dealers sell is a cracking semi synthetic and pretty cheap aswell.
