Q2 What Oil for my SQ2

Kind of a default brand with lol marketing , next time can be of better value , brand is unimportant , a spec is a spec .
 
Castrol is clever , it's marketing and 4L !

Its only for topping up and I wouldn't use Asda oil Audi do recommend Castrol/Mobil rather pay the extra and no its right.
 
So if some idiot put Asda 504.00 507.00 in a PD engine for several years what would happen ?

Ever heard of

Cadburys chocolate /Asda Chocolate. enough said. I don't thing Audi/Merc/VW put Asda engine oil in their cars just saying wether its 504.00 /507.00 or not, if you can afford a premium brand then buy it there has to be a difference
 
That's it , there isn't !

Because the industry standard basestocks and ingredients are bought from the big boys and blended to a set recipe to achieve those oil performance profile of manufacturer specs .

The like product is usually marketed for less because they don't have the eye watering costs of gaining manufacturer approvals , R&D , advertising , sponsorship etc .


It's a similar story with supermarket fuel .
