Hi,

I am gearing up to doing an oil change on my 2005 Octavia 2.0 PD 140 diesel. I am a bit confused though as to which oil I need. Can someone look at the two I have selected below and let me know which is the right option or does it even matter that much? I will be using a fixed service interval and will be changing the oil every 8K / 10K.

This one meets VW standard 507 00.

This one meets VW standard 505 01 but specifically refers to PD engines.

Thanks for your time!

Go with the 5w30

Do you have Asda's in Ireland? - it is £30 for 4l of Castrol Edge 5w30 at the moment.

Those Halfords prices seem very expensive!

Thanks for the advise! Unfortunately it's Ireland, everything is expensive........
