Morning all,
I have tried forum searching on this topic but was struggling to reach a conclusion!
I've just taken delivery of my 245 vRS DSG (fantastic by the way); it's going to be covering nearly 1000 miles this weekend so I want to get some oil for top-ups (hopefully not needed, but you never know). The owner's manual really isn't very helpful on this at all - it says to speak to your local dealer (who won't answer the phone!).
Now I can't be certain, but I think it's on variable servicing - it's showing next service in nearly 20k miles or 2 years or something, so that suggests that to me. I've seen reference to VW 508 00 spec 0w20 oil - is this correct? If so, is the below going to be OK? Frustratingly out of stock at the local Halfords and I presume the dealers will ask even more for it.
