Anything that says VW504/VW507 on it.

Very worrying that your oil light has come on how often do you check it?

I use castrol edge 5W 30 but it's not cheap. I had to top up twice before my first service, since then i haven't needed to top the oil up.

Best bet buy it your local dealer, works out cheaper to buy 5 litres for £31 then buy £15 for 1 litre.

Mine uses around 2 litres of oil between services. Depending whether you" Drive the car and enjoy it or fanny around doing no more the 2000rpm and not using the Turbo  :wink:

VW have now changed over from Castrol to Shell for the oil iirc so you will be able to pop into a Shell garage and pick some of the Helix 504.00/507.00 stuff, i got some the other day for £18  :happy2:
