| Briskodian | what oil Could anybody advise me on what what oil I should use for a oil change on my Octavia 1.9 TDI Diesel whilst in warranty they told me that they was useing castral fully synthetic which means that it would only need a 20.000 mile service for 10.000 mile service semi synthetic. Castral at £40 a gallon its a bit steep is there any alternatives |

| Re: what oil What TDi engine is it? The 20k servicing is variable and needs the better oil to run the distance. Your choice, cheaper more frequent services, or lesser more expensive ones. |

| Briskodian | Re: what oil I'd be interested in this one too.. my parents TDi 110 needs an oil change soon (we're reasonably sure the dealer didn't do it when they said they did). I think my dad found there's 2 different grades listed? He wasn't sure which to buy.

| Briskodian  | Re: what oil I used SLX Longlife II for top ups and this time around the dealer put Mobil 1 ESP in the car. One of the 5-30 castrol Edge things replaces SLX longlife II. (Mine is a 110TDI)

| Re: what oil check in your area for Lucas Oil products (not to be confused with lucas brakes or electrics of uk) they exceed all european / american standards for vw and every other company for that matter, there regarded as americas finest engine oils but are not yet well known this side of the water, comes in 0w30 5w30 5w40 all exceed longlife vw specs for diesel / petrol and resale for about £28-32 for 5litre not 4 from castrol ect If std for car is 505.01 there 10w40 semi exceeds this std and sells for about £15- 16 if your on fixed service. (If in dunfermline try Essport they'll give you a wee discount) www.Lucasoil.com for more info If cant get this try millers oil also very good/ or valvoline |
