Citigo Service

[Wag74]

I have just had the Citigo serviced at Beadles Skoda and they have put Shell Helix Ultra professional AV-L 0w-30 oil in it, when I questioned this they said that it is the new requirement, can someone please tell me this meets the correct requirements as they have always in the past put Castrol 5w-30 in the past.

It's on the approved list meeting VW 50400/50700 specs, so should be fine for anything really.

Thank you for that

BMW have also moved away from Castrol and are now using Shell (Pennzoil in North America) .

 

As long as the oil meets or exceeds the Manufacturer's specification it will be fine.

Back in 2009 the Euro 4 Toyota iQ 1.0 3 cylinder used 5w 30 FS,  then the Euro 5 was introduced late 2010, still 5w 30 FS, 

& the Fuel Economy complaints about how poor they were from the Euro 4 with EGR Faults to the fixed Euro 5 using more fuel lead Toyota to then change to 0w 30 FS oil.

You might find that 0-30 FS helps improve fuel economy, or just that the price of the oil is more expensive if buying to top up, 

but shop around.

Thank you for all replying, it has made my mind at ease.
