Hi
I have a 2002/02 S3 on Variable Servicing and understand from posts that I need 503.01 coded oil. I dropped into my dealer today just to check what they would put in at its next service as thought this would steer my decision over the purchase of Longtec 0w-30 or Mobil 1 (0w-40).
The parts manager said that next time it is serviced they will use the new Castrol SLX Longlife III rather than original Longtec or (Castrol Edge 0w-30 as it seems to now be called in Castrol's rebranding exercise)
I am told that it is a better oil and fine to mix with the existing 503.01 in there at the moment.
Could someone with a technical knowledge please advise if this is okay?
It is 5W-30, VW 504.00 / 507.00
Thanks
