Hi Briskoda community,

 

Which brand/type of oil would you recommend for an oil change for my 2016 2.0L Diesel vRS?

 

And am I right in saying I need about 4.6L?

 

TIA

5w30 is the one you need. Opie Oils are selling it as a service pack of 6 litres.

Brand is a matter of choice/budget. I buy supermarket for top-ups as long as it’s the correct VW approved spec e.g.

Millers Oils Trident Professional or you can go Castrol, Shell or Mobil and pay easily half as much again. A garage will be using industrial quantities of, probably, Quantum.

One that meets VW group spec 507 00. Everything else is unimportant.

Make sure that whatever you do, you don't overfill the sump.  Its easy to do if you aren't paying attention.  The engine doesn't apprechiate that.

VW/Skoda/Seat/Audi parts departments sell this Quantum fully synthetic 5w-30 engine oil which meets VW 507 specification.

Quantum Longlife 3 5w-30

Quantum Longlife III 5w-30
