NS1 Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 I need to get some engine oil for my S3 & I can get oil paid for on my company petrol card. Anyone know which petrol stations sell engine oil fit for an S3, so I can stock up without coughing up for it?? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopsta Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 From memory you can get it in BP, just make sure it has the right 503.1 or whatever you need on the back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 iirc Shell Helix Ultra is ok. but PLEASE double check it is VW 503.01 spec (for AVS service) before using/purchasing, it should be on the bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NS1 Posted July 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Thanks guys, i'll go check it out & make sure I get VW 503.01 spec. Is Mobil 1 any good for an S3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evotista Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Yep, Mobil 1 will do - SAE 0W-40 - 503.01 usually found in most Esso stations Shell Helix Ultra - SAE 0W-30 - 503.01 Castrol Formula SLX - SAE 0W-30 - 503.01 sometimes found in some BP garages All of these will do any S3 HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NS1 Posted July 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Went to a Shell garage, but they did not have the correct Helix Ultra on the shelf, but managed to stock up on Mobil 1 from Esso (£35 for 4L + free McClaren baseball cap ). Thanks very much for the feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
