Hi Guys,

 

My car is due for another oil change. Car is 1.4TSI with 150bsp 67plate. Milease is 51k on the clock. Last time I used  5w-30. This morning I called couple of Skoda dealer near me and both of them suggested me different oils. One is 0w-20 and other one is 5w-30 after checking the reg. I remember 6 months ago there was another engine oil suggested to me by another dealer. None of the suggestions are matching to each other. So I am wondering which one is the best engine oil for my car. I am tending to go 0W-20 as i did use 5w-30 and it seemed fuel consumption went down a bit witht hat engine oil.

or just on the general subject a Google or Briskoda search of briskoda VW 508 / 509 and there are lots of threads.

 

 

The VW group recommended oil for your car is 5w 30 FS III (Long Life) which is to VW 504 00 / 507 00.

 

The 0w 20 FS IV is what VW started using from the factory for the WLTP / RDE and when the GPF's were fitted to TSI's, and that is VW 508 00 / 509 00

 

It is not a recommended oil for your age of TSI and it is another chance for a co-ck up with Dealership employees. 

These are the people that say you must use the Recommended Spec of oil.  That is the Manufacturers Recommended, not some muppets with no idea of their arse from their elbow.

 

*They need to read the 'Not backword compatible.' bit in the VW Group Information.*

 

PS

Maybe go 0w 30 FS III and stick with VW 504 00 / 507 00.   

And a TSI on Fixed Servicing can even use VW 502 00 which is 5w 40 FS.    There you get a long lived TSI engine and no long life oil or long service / oil change intervals.

 

This came in with Euro 6d temp engines and is nothing to do with the engines before then, Euro 5 / Euro 6.

I forgot to mention that i drive for uber..so every 6months i have to kind of do the oil changing service..

 

I want really best oil for my car. So, which oil shall I go to? 

Usually it is best to go for the correct oil for your vehicle and in your case it is VW 504 00 and that is usually 5w 30 FS III  be it fixed or variable service intervals.  You can do oil / filter changed at up to 18,000 - 20,000 miles.     VW 508 00 so 0w 20 FS IV is not the correct oil for your car. 

I recommend that the best stuff is the VW/Skoda/Seat 504/507 0W-30 Longlife LEIII engine oil. 

Thanks for the replies. Just wondering, is it a good idea to use engine flush while changing the engine oil?

No.

Removing the engine oil in now at the operating temp (hot) is as good a flush as is needed.

That is the oil being removed that you know how long has been in there since you had the last service done. 

(Getting an oil change on a new to you used car means you have no idea what crap is in there.)

So hot oil pumped out and then the sump plug changed or just pumped out and no sump plug change, or the hot oil drained via the sump plug is all that needs doing.
