Oil recomendations

Post by pmj » Sat Mar 19, 2016 2:49 pm

I need to top up with oil as the level in showing a smidge above minimum, Last time I topped it up I used Shell Helix Ultra AV-L 5W-30, however this is not available anymore and the garage could not tell me the replacement for this, anyone have any hint to what I need to top up with, the car is on the long life service schedule...

Just pick a suitable oil with the correct VAG spec, your only topping up.

Opie oils.com and look through the oils recommended for your car and go from there... barring that TPS or even halfords will tell you which oil is VAG spec.
