helfinger Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 Is that any Audi or VW garage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattcony Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 Whats your service interval set too, fixed (every 10k)or is it vareable ? I know if your on vareable servicing you have to use the same oil type. cheers matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helfinger Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 sod the service interval, i do mine every 3,000 miles and use Castrol RS, if you just need a top up then i would stick to the Synta gold its not good mixing oils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mook Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 Castrol SLX - as used by VW in long service interval cars. As per Helfinger's post, check what was used last time your car was serviced though, to keep the same manufacturer and brand of oil in the engine at one time.

1monty Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 Mobil 1 every 10K miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mb Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 Halfords also sell SLX if this is nearer to you than VW - also have a look in the boot as you might find there is a top up kit in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
