What engine oil should i use in my 2014 Skoda Octavia VRS 2.0 TDi


Recommended Posts

Done loads of miles in all sorts of my own cars, and had many years experience in building and running race engines, both car and motorbike.

 

In MY experience - as said, firstly make sure you are buying the proper VW spec for your engine. However - with regard to brand, I wouldn't use anything other than Mobil 1...but that's just me, feel free to do your own research!

VW Group Elephant in the room.

 

Long Life oils, 18,500-20,000 mile Oil / Filter Service intervals, all to suit fleet / business users / leasing, 3 years rented out cars,

pretty crap filtration / filters.

But you can use the long life stuff for annual oil changes if you wish. Many oils are dual coded VW 504/507 at no additional cost .

I have now opted for an annual service as my mileage is under 7000. I have no idea which oil grade the Skoda main dealer fitted, the receipt and electronic service update being a bit sparse for my liking.
