505.01 What oil do you use

[Peter_HMR]

Just curious as to what everyone else is using. I use

Liqui Moly 5W40 Fully Synthetic Top Tec 4100.

From what I can gather its a good spec oil anyone know much about it?

I use GM Dexos 2, because it is cheap if you buy 4x5 litre (£48)

Note that this oil is not VW approved, just stated as meeting the VW specs. The Liquimoly is approved.

I used a variety, from castrol edge to Fuchs Titan until I met TPS and their wonderfully priced Quantum - ~£5 a litre/£25 for 5

They have a walkthrough section to match the oil to specific model etc and recomend the correct oil as per VW

They are doing 25% off weekend at the moment i use them all the time mine is 19 pd tdi and i always use fuchs titan gt 1.

They are always good and with money off you cant complain and being a member here also gives you an extra 10% off

Another thumbs up for Quantum Platinum. Just bear in mind it's not good for longlife service intervals

And longlife service intervals are good-for-nothing

Change my oil/filter every 5k.

10k is a MAXIMUM mileage change interval anyway. Would never buy a car S/H that has been on the Extended Mileage Regime.......designed to placate the 'greens' and the fleet operators who trade the cars and can pass any problems on.
