ed30 oil
« on: October 04, 2014, 02:01:47 pm »
Bonjeur
I got a bottle with a bit of 5w30 mobil oil with the car but its ran out now
Is it best to stick with 5w30?
Also what is the best priced correct oil for the eddie?
Asda or hafords stuff ok?
Cheers

If that is what's in it, then yes.

Castrol Edge 5W30 - Asda usually cheapest for it £13 a litre (£16+ at Halfrauds)
NOW: 2015 Golf R DSG 5 Door, Lapiz Blue, 19s, Discover Nav, Reversing Camera
GONE:2007 Black GTI Edition 30 3dr

I use Quantum 5w30 because it's Castrol Edge 5w30 in drag and £20 in your pocket.

I was tempted to try Millers Nanodrive 5w40 but punked out, because I have quite a lot of the Quantum left - but the Millers is highly regarded oil.

So the asda or tesco ones are ok to use as long as it says it meets the right spec?
What exactly should i look for on the bottle ?
