Oil Types

Post by Mendy » Wed Oct 20, 2010 8:11 am

Guys
I am a new RS4 owner and have a question about oil. Audi sold me Castrol SLX, Proffessional Powerflow, Longlife111 5w-30 (at a stupid price) A friend at a motor factors has checked via the reg No and it comes back with Castrol Edge, long life fully synthetic 5-w30. Are the two oils compatable if not which one is correct

Castrol Edge is the Consumer Retail name for Castrol SLX III Powerflow. They are both 5W-30 VAG 504.00 507.00 spec oils and are usable in VAG longlife servicing cars.
