[skartsocket]

I have a B6 1.9TDI PD 130,

What grade oil does everyone recommend for engine oil changes?

[sbt]

hi mate it is a special pd oil specificly for pd engines i use to use fuchs titan super synth available from gsf dont be tempted to use any other thats very important. oil leads a very hard life in these engines and its got to be pd specific

Use Quantum Platinum straight from the VW dealer.

Check the handbook for the VW approved spec. number.eg.VW 505.... for your engine type.use a well known brand,not the chip shop branded stuff!!

I've used a hi synthetic by Millers. I drain every 6 months. Just got some Motul PD specfic... it was on offer from Opie oils. This is fully Syn so will stay in 12 months.

Ensure PD 506.01 or 505.01 507 may also be ok; I stand to be corrected!!??

I like to use 5w40 in the TDi

[Crasher]

Quantum Platinum is PD perfect and 5w/40.

[Turbokiisseli]

The VW spec is 505.01 for fixed intervals and 506.01 for LongLife (Curse that!). The oil is 5W40 for fixed and 5W30 for LL, but this isn't as important as the spec since that defines the needed additives.

If you're on a fixed interval, I'd recommend you stay away from 506.01 since it's alot more expensive than 505.01 and doesn't offer much benefits on a fixed oil change interval.

I have same engine. 5W-30 fully synthetic is recomended.I use 507 00 produced by Comma for all VW & AUDIs ect. £30 for 5L + vat. Use it for fixed or long life.

[Dave Avant]

I used Castrol edge 5W 30 in my last recent oil change, it was on offer at Halfords.

Depends on if the car is on fixed service schedule or variable service schedule?

If you are on fixed service you will need an oil that meets the VW505.01 spec such as these http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-751-vw-50501-oil.aspx

If you are on longlife service then we would recommend a VW507.00 spec such as these http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-754-vw-50700-oil.aspx
