You could use any of the following

Castrol Edge / SLX Powerflow III
Mobil 1
LiquiMoly Top Tech 4200
Quantum Longlife III

All have the necessary approvals. Most use Castrol or Mobil

I use Castrol Edge SLX III 5W-30. The important thing is that it is VAG 504.00/507.00 rated.

Fuchs Titan

Fuchs is a very good brand.
I like Silkolene too but not sure if it has the ratings (but I wouldn't worry too much as it's generally considered like fuchs to be superior to the normal premium brands like mobil 1).
That being said, mobil 1 and castrol edge are fine in their own right.

If you register with them they do free shipment offers most months. Good service.

I would top up with the same oil that is already in. You can change your oil when an oil change is due.

I've always used Fuchs Titan

[sonny]

Iv been using Shell Helix. My dealer who does the work has swapped to Castrol now (more expensive) so I will be looking at alternatives.

Did not silkolene and century oils merge to become Fuchs

What's the offer on mobile 1 in Halfords? The last lot I got was from Asda about a yr ago for only £32 per 5lt. Not seen any that cheap since. Costco seems an excellent price. How do u join that place?
