    The spec is just that, a specification, it's not a VW only item and is sold nation/worldwide.

    When was the car last serviced?


    Considering selling my VCDS KEY-USB interface. If you're interested please contact me via PM or email.

    No, Just go to place that sells oil, for example Halfords and look for the magic letters and numbers on the pack.

    e.g

    2010 model, 14.5k miles with a service not due for another 5k - I'm guessing you're on longlife servicing?

    My head says get it serviced now - it's lost oil, may as well.

    My wallet says top it up.

    Up to you which one you listen to though.

    Longlife, should be renamed Shortlife (of the engine that is....)

    I am pretty sure the dealers only have long life oil. Even on those cars with time/distance servicing, they use the long life oil.

    At least that is what the service manager at a VW main dealer told me. Reason, they have huge drums of oil and it makes no sense to have multiple drums of different grades. They have 2 drums, 1 for petrol, 1 for diesel.
