Post by: Dan_FR on April 11, 2016, 01:45:46 pm: 5w30 is standard longlife oil spec - super thin - good for fuel economy and longlife service intervals, sh*te under hot/extreme conditions such as those caused when increasing the engines power output. 5W40 offers better protection at higher temperatures and can help to reduce the excessive oil consumption that a lot of these lumps suffer with

Post by: Rasco on April 11, 2016, 03:35:07 pm: well thanks for the useful info and being gentle on me, my lump drinks oil and I like to thrash the old girl from time to time so I will be switching to 5w40 nanodrive in 6 months at my next oil change.

cheers!

Post by: pudding on April 11, 2016, 04:22:32 pm: If you have high oil consumption, try and find some Mobil 1 5W/50. I've used it in oil burning VW engines in the past to great effect.

Post by: shoaybmakda on July 10, 2016, 11:51:59 pm: Would 5w30 be ok for normal driving then around town and not track use or heavy driving?

Post by: Dan_FR on July 11, 2016, 02:58:39 pm: Sometimes its cheaper from other sellers on eBay. Not sure of the code for this site, but I normally just use 'TFSI'.
