5W-30

[geordie_21]

Quick question, I just ordered a service pack from Opie and the oil selected for my 2004 Fab vRS is 5W-30, I'm sure Iv'e always ordered 5W-40 in the past? is this correct before I feed it 4 litres of the stuff, maybe oil specs have changed without me noticing it? Surely there website cannot be wrong for such a reputable oil supplier?

Thanks, John

iirc there is 501 spec of 5w30 that's suitable for PD engines

As you know it should be a 5W-40 and 505.01.

However I think the newer spec 507.00 (5W-30) can be used.

Note 3:

Skoda Customers Services have confirmed that spec VW 507 00 oil is also suitable for the Fabia vRS. The thread below includes oils which meet that later spec.
