Oh I see. So as long as it is 5w-40 VW504 00 you can us any brand. But just make sure it's not long life.

504 00 is the long life one. Read what root posted again, he's recommended 502 00. 

@GUESTY

No you do not see.

 

VW 504 00 / 507 00  Is long Life oil, 

504 for TSI's and the 507 00 for TDI's Fixed or Variable servicing.

 

I use VW502 00 that is not Long Life Oil, it is Full Synthetic and not for Variable Servicing.

Sorry I misread. 

So as long as it's to VW 502 00 standard it doesn't matter what brand oil?

Talking of Fairy that's my favourite washing up liquid (other brands are available possibly cheaper).

Sorry guys I'm getting a bit confused here 🤪 ( which isn't hard to do ) Im going to change oil once a year regardless of miles driven/ usage of car .11 plate fabia vrs so what is being recommend is 5 w40 vw502 ( the car only gets used at the weekend ) 

Yes how I understand it 5w-40 VW 502 00 any brand. I know what you mean I get a bit confused lol.

It really is simple.

 

The cars come with a code that means they can be on Variable Servicing and Skoda / VW recommend VW504 00 for variable or fixed servicing.

That is 5w 30 FS III.

 

The cars if being given Fixed Service Interval Oil changes can use VW502 00 which is 5w 40 FS.

 

So you can choose what you use, but seeing as a Twincharger runs nicely on 5w 40 FS it might be worth running that.

It will not affect the fuel consumption adversely and might just have the engine nicely protected.

 

As you see on the Oil Chart the option is there to use VW502 00.

 

Actually that option is there for all TSI engines, even the latest ones that come fro the factory with VW 508 00,  that is 0w 20 FS IV as used by VW Group to get the WLTP / RDE & now RDE2 results.
