my car is on 5/30 oild thinking of doing a oil and filter change this week end any idea whats best oild to use ?/
 
dont really know what your saying mate? 5w30? Oil'd? Diesel? Petrol?
 
running a 2.0 tdi bkd just looking at oil and filter change ....
 
Any oil 5w30 grade that meets VW504/507 spec should do.
Some of the bigger ASDA's are selling castrol edge fo £30 for 4 litres at the moment.
 
Castrol Edge is what I would use 5w30. As said the supermarkets are selling it now at good prices...
 
What about Quantum Synta Platinum, is that not what the dealers use?
 
I see it all the time at my VW part department, would have thought Audi use the same. Its also a bit cheaper, £25 for 5 litres. I asked just to make sure it wasn't a crappy oil, since most people here seam to use Castrol.
If its much better then I might be swayed to use Castrol, but if Quantum Synta Platinum is sold at the dealers and fairly cheap i dont see why people would need to buy more expensive oil?
 
People, myself included like to top up the oil with whats already in there. If your doing an oil change then you can use what you like as the engines are the same across the board...
 
Either Castrol Edge or SLX on a 5/30 viscosity for bkd engine, I personally wouldnt run anything else.
 
As above Castrol Edge 5W30, it meets all the requirements of long life service. Been used in a mates R8 and if its good enough for the R8 its good enough for me lol
