    Hey Opieoils,

    I will be coming to you in the future for my oil as your prices and service here is great.

    However I bought oil the other day at EuroCarParts so would appreciate a double check it will be suitable for my 2000 V A4 1.9TDI 110BHP.

    The oil is Valvoline SYN Power XL-III and on the back states it is ACEA A3/B4 VW: 504.00/507.00 and cost a fortune!

    £38.70+VAT for 4 litres and another £10.19+VAT for a further 1 litre bottle.

    a very interesting thread..... one question for guy

    1. does fully or semi synthetic oil become damaged and lose its properties due to high temp sooner than a mineral based oil ?

    cheers in advance

    Other way around, semi synthetics (100% mineral base) and especially synthedtics are more temp and shear stable, thus they keep their protective properties for longer then a boggo mineral oil.

    Cheers

    The year of your car would help but looking at the Shell website tool 10W-40 should be fine.

    But 5W-30 can be used and is a bit more premium, its more expensive than 10W-40 if you were to change it.
