Sparticus Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 Needs a top up after first 1000 miles. Car came with a 1 litre bottle of Shell Helix Ultra VX 5W 30 in the boot. VW seem to be pushing Castrol SLX Long Life as part of the long life servicing regime. Which should I use ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damianmkv Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 be careful. You need to use Long Life oil. VW say that if your engine expires and they find that you are not using the LongLife oil, then they will not pay your warranty claim. Also, using different oils can affect your service intervals.

_Tone_ Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 I had the SLX 2 in my boot of my a3 and Golf, which is what we have continued to use. I noticed that my local TMC was £5 cheaper then halfords for a 4 litre bottle. Tone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
