frededwards Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Whatever you want, it's a bit of an urban myth that you need a specific oil. Utter nonsense. The correct viscosity is critical in the long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alankearn Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Whatever you want, it's a bit of an urban myth that you need a specific oil. Not an urban myth regarding VW TDI PD engines (and it costs around £10 litre) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You reckon an old single grade oil will work well for a modern 16 valve turbo engine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantheman10 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 According to Autodata: 0W/40 or 5W/40 and around 4.25 litres of oil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alchresearch Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Whatever you want, it's a bit of an urban myth that you need a specific oil. There are many destroyed turbos due to not being the correct viscosity or low-ash which disagree with you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellsbell Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 You need Grade 0/40 fully synthetic, 4.25L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frededwards Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Yes, complete urban myth thought up by the likes of Castrol! Why are you persisting in perpetrating this lie? Someone who does not know any better may take heed of your rubbish and damage their car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
