what oil?

Post by **fairz** » Wed Jun 23, 2010 8:20 pm

Hi guys, I am new to this forum and have just purchased a b7 rs4 avant. Been looking through some posts and noticed most of you guys seem to recommend using Castrol Edge oil. I have long life servicing on my car and the computer says that it will need a service in 15k miles (currently on 37k). I would like to do my own oil change before then but after looking in halfords at the wkend i noticed a couple of different types of edge, different viscosity ratings. My question is which one do i use? Am i right in thinking i will need 10 litres to do a change? Thanks

10 litres of Castrol Edge 5W-30 VAG 504.000 / 507.000 oil specifically formulated for VAG long life service is what it says on the containers.

My vote is for Fuchs Titan - check Opie Oils for a forum price...

Is this ok to use whilst on long life servicing and car within warranty. Tescos have this at my local store half price.
