LongLife Engine Oil 3
« on: June 29, 2011, 06:56:09 pm »
Hi,

Not sure if I'm posting in the right area but here goes.. :chicken:

Just thought I might try help some forum members out.

I have a friend who has a contact at a VW garage, that can get me Longlife Engine oil 3,(Used for variable servicing), Genuine VW stuff for £32, 5ltr container. I'm getting 2 for myself, can take pics of the item  and forward on if needed.

If anyones interested and in the Manchester area, or along the M61, I can meet up if you want some.

Regards.

May well be Quantum, waiting for mine, so will know when I get it.

Is Quantum, any better or worse than any other that VW use?

Check the Quantum stuff is VW504 approved. It wasn't on the approved list when I last checked!

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.
