I'm sure I've bought oil from by dealer for a lot less than that. In fact it wasn't much more than what you'd pay for in halfrauds.

Is there something else I could buy from halfords?

Title: Re: 1ltr longlife £17.46
Post by: alexperkins on March 09, 2011, 04:40:34 pm

halfords do a variety of 5w30 longlife oil. Try and go for a brand such as Castrol or Mobil though as opposed to their own brand stuff.

Just make sure that the oil has the VW seal of approval with it conforming to necessary ratings.

Dont drive or run the engine with the oil pressure light on!

Title: Re: 1ltr longlife £17.46
Post by: alexperkins on March 09, 2011, 10:24:18 pm

Was going to say, oil must be reasonably low for the oil light to come on - thats not good!

1L of Castrol Edge is only £10 at asda. Same bottle is £16 at halfrauds!  :happy2:

Just make its the right grade of oil!. There are variances of Castrol Edge.

Just to confirm the correct oil from Castrol is .. Castrol SLX Longlife III 5w30.( VW 504 00/ 507 00 .

Castrol apparently don't do the slx stuff and it's been replaced by castrol edge stuff.
