Hi People

Just wondering what peoples experiences has been with different oil's its for a 2.0 TDI Audi A3.

Whats the best and whats the worst????? is there a better oil for winter months????

Also, how regularly should the oil be checked in the engine.????

Thanks

Basically any oil that meets VW specification VW507 00. Quite a number do but check on the container. There is no need to use any different oil in winter than in the summer.

Personally I use Castrol Edge 5w-30 which I tend to buy in a 4 litre can from Halfords. Shell Helix Ultra VX 5w-30 is another one which meets the spec.

cheeers Dave, but how often do you check your oil?

Apparently Motul is the best money can buy.

I got a shock when my oil warning light came on going up the A1. Guess I'm not used to diesels and their oil consumption! I was glad of the 1L can from Audi in the boot but a little concerned after the whole experience.

How much oil should/do they get through?

cheeers Dave, but how often do you check your oil?

Whenever I wash the car, usually now about once every two weeks.
