Oil top up
« on: September 18, 2010, 05:47:32 pm »
Hi Guys,

I'm sure this is a question that has been asked 1000's of times. But using the search function i confused myself even more!

I need to top up the oil in my 2007 Edition 30. It's on the long life plan if that makes a difference? And its on 38,500k miles.

So which oil?  :happy2:

Cheers chaps, have a nice weekend.

Nick  :drinking:

On the packet it will say for VW Petrol Turbo Engines.  The spec will be in your owners manual.

VW approved to standard 504 or something. 5W-30 so Castrol is usually recommended. I go for the SLX variety.
