    I have a 2005, 130 bhp TDI Passat on long life service intervals. At the last service the oil used was Shell Helix Ultra vx long life. It's not due another service until September this year but needs a top up now and I am finding it difficult to source a supplier willing to sell 1 litre. Can anyone help. I live in the Surrey / Hampshire region.

    The VW dealer buys his Shell Helix Ultra vx long life in bulk. He stocks the equivalent Castrol oil in litres and sells it over the spares counter but I don't really want to mix the oils, as although they may have the same specification, they may use different base oils and additives to get it.

    i think your worrying toomuch meself.All oil companies spend a fortune on oil development and they ensure that mixing different oil brands of similar spec will be fine.
