10W-40

stealthwolf · December 20, 2011, 02:25:16 PM

Got the 4th year service done. Whilst going to pick up the car, I realised I hadn't asked for 5W-30 Longlife! Too stressed about making sure they didn't wash it (they didn't). Anyway, it's got 10W-40 in it and I know Teutonic_Tamer would be pleased (!).

Can it wait until 6 months and I'll get it flushed through?
Can I still give it some beans?

Did VW do the service. Are you sure its 10W40 not 5W40?

It's better than no oil.

It was listers VW, as recommended by Greeners and a few others. They've been bang on excellent otherwise. Not horrendously fussed but just surprised I didn't ask specifically for 5w-30

It is approved by VW, on the plus side it's dirt cheap compared to Castrol Edge.

What's it say on the invoice stealth as the oil grade numbers? Check your book to and see what it says

I asked the chap and he looked and said 10W-40 and its what they all use on their cars. Will have a proper look later.

The drive home was awesome. The only way I could describe it is like a sex-wee but in your heart. I know I said I loved the DSG but driving the car again was immense. Now doubting whether DSG is all that.

sub39h · December 21, 2011, 05:26:29 PM

MAT ED30 · December 21, 2011, 05:30:13 PM
