LolTerrifying.
I might as well be using cod liver oil in my car for all the protection I get then.
However did VW get away with supplying a shockingly inadequate oil.
Starting to wonder why people don't have Asda plastered on car's in favour of Castrol, Millers and the like...
..go for branded stuff as I'm a snob can't tell me supermarket oil, fuel or whatever is fine as it meets "standards" still not using it, each to their own..
I've read through - but am a bit confused.
I've been putting 5w30 Castrol/Millers in my 1.9 every 5000-6000 miles. I'm assuming the car will be happy with this level of love?

This is confusing the **** out of me. I also thought the PD engines were the reliable ones? I now have the fear.I stand corrected.
I thought the 1.9s were the older more reliable engines. I used to have one in a SEAT Toledo, it went like poo off a shovel.
a) its not about long life, it's the spec/grade propertiesWhy use Long Life oil and change it every 2 - 3k miles?

b) because he's buying it for sub £1.50 per litre
c) changing oil is one of the best, most cost effective maintenance items you can
No brainer if buy it that cheap (and the oil is what it says it is)
I did 4,500 miles there in 18 months and changed my oil. Was £30ish quid.
I'd do it all the time if it was even less
