audi a5 engine oil

[vw754]

My a5 2.0 tdi has been serviced at audi with 5w-30 since new

last service they used 0w-30 oil instead........said they changed now to 0w-30

how much oil does my car take with filter (going do it myself now)

should i use 0w-30 or go back to 5w-30 ?

and is this oil any good for my car? http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/A...gineoils/0w30-engine-oil/?521774541&0&cc5_249

Good oil as also C2 .

Best value for money is Quantum LongLife III from ebay around £19 .

Realistically any oil with 507.00 on it is suitable .

Shell Helix Ultra ECT (C2/C3) Engine Oil - 0W-30 - 5ltr

IS THIS THE RIGHT SPEC?

 

[Gazwould]

Yes , otherwise I wouldn't of said "good oil" .

Albeit expensive .

Who was it that changed the grade of the oil? An Audi garage/specialist/local?

You could just ring Audi and ask if there has been a change in the recommended oil, if not, go by your car manual...
