Hi guys trying to get a straight answer on what oil is best. I've got a 53 plate fabia vrs. Its had some work done on the engine so smokes when I boot it. The oil isn't on minimum level yet but I'd like to top it up. So in your guys opinions what would you recommend?? Thanks

Quantum Platinum 5w40 Fully Synthetic - Part number: ZGB115QLB00520

 

The oil has to be VW 505 01 specification or it isn't suitable. Just buy it from a dealer a 1l top up is like £6 or £7

 

Or alternatively full list here: http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/21250-what-engine-oil-must-i-use-in-my-fabia-vrs/

Cheers thank you very much. Just searched product number on Google theskodashop.co.uk do the 1L top up for £7.20.

Personally I use Mobil 1 ESP 5w30.

 

It Exceeds the min 505 01 requirements and is suitable up to 507 00 (from 504 00)

 

I just did 11.5K over the last year on this oil with zero problems, I believe I did a minor top up once using what was left over from the the same 5 litre bottle I used originally to do the full change, so 1x 5 litre bottle is good for at least 10K worth of motoring, was consistently averaging around 45 to 50 MPG each full tank of fuel all year long on a remapped engine, just changed oil again yesterday and to stuck the same brand 100% convinced this is the best choice for my 2004 Fabia VRS (ASZ) 

maybe the intercooler just needs a clean out :sun:
