Re: Oil for top up
Unless you can contact the garage of the last service, or you when it was last serviced, and/or by checking how many days left to next service you could then determine if it's on a 12 month or 24 month service plan, ie different oilsbirdiemachine wrote:Would it be ok to top up with oil mentioned above not knowing what's in it atm?

Have you checked your rear storage compartment for an oil container,? all RS drivers have to carry oil, well all B7 owners do

How much was it in there? It's grim in ASDA so won't go unless needed.birdiemachine wrote:Never have a bad word said about asda again! Christ it's scary in there, don't intend to ever go back.

Re: Oil for top up
Always carry a L or two around with me.
As above Castrol Edge 5W-30 is the standard.
Just slightly OT, but how much oil do these tend to burn, I'm finding about 2L a year?
