Basically i think my car is ready for some new oil. It's been a while since i've had to buy any so just out of interest... What do you guys use and recommend?
To be honest i don't know why i started this thread. I'll just do what i always do... Go to the auto parts place and just buy the best they've got. Tends to eliminate all doubt!! lol

Castrol Edge 5W-30 is what Audi recommend why not just stick with that. If you do use something else make sure its 504/507 compliant as your cars still under warranty.
Yep but its still bottled as Longlife III in dealers.
On the subject of oil (and I might have said this before) but is it just me that finds it hard to read the dipstic? I've given up trying to read it and will just see if the light ever comes on.
I swear by Motul oils, there are some specific for 504/507 compliance. In my opinion, they are superior to Castrol. Even the top of the range RS is much worse than motul´s 300 V which is ester based and group 5 (castrol RS is a group 3, hydrocracked, not fully synthetic).
Was in Costco today, and they had 3*1litre bottles of 5w-30 Castrol edge (or whatever its called), for £19.50 or so (inc VAT), so get your skates on, that is dirt cheap!
Auto Express last week had a feature on Halfords' new oil range including one to VW 504 and 507.... Don't think the article was defaced with a price though
