Hi Guys,

This may seem an obvious question, however here goes:-

What Engine Oil does one put in, to top up a new B6 Sport 170 DPF Manual Estate ?

The dealer says , after much head scratching - that it is Castrol SRL, the same oil is used is used for Time/distance and Long life service intervals. The Engine in my car is the BMR Engine apparently and is suitable for the VW 507 specification Oil.

Well I'm confused:1zhelp:!!!! The engine needed very little.

Regards

There was a brief discussion on this a while ago: http://www.vwaudiforum.co.uk/forum//showthread.php?t=19317
Check on the containers of any of the better-quality oils to see if they match VW's 507 spec. Its use is mentioned somewhere at the back of the driver's handbook, although they obviously don't mention brands!
