Hi All,

 

We have bought a 2019 Octavia III Facelift 2.0TSI DSG. The car selled by a Peugeot dealer who did an oil change before. Unfortunatelly they did use an oil what is not fit to the VW 508.00 regulation (recommended for this car).

 

They used the following oil: https://lubricants.catalog.totalenergies.com/catalog-sg/en_SG/trq-quartz-ineo-xtra-first-0w-20

It is 0W-20, ACEA C5 and API SN PLUS. It is approved for PSA cars.

 

I will change this oil to VW 508.00 compliant oil as soon as possible. I have two questions:

1) The car will run 2-3 hundred kms with this oil. Can this short distance produce any kind of problem with the engine?

2) Some amount of this oil will remain in the engine after the change. Is it a problem or not?

 

Thank you in advance!

They generally recommend 5/40 oil for the tsi lump. Either that or a 0/30 but a 0/20 is very thin at temp. Not good. I have a mapped 272 and I use a 0 or 5/40

Yeah. OK. 508.00 got introduced after the WLTP changes maybe when the ppf got introduced. 

 

A lot is to do with better economy, hence the thinner formulation.. 

 

Before that it was 502.00 fixed interval (often 5w40 but some other sae ratings were offered) or 504.00 variable long life,  which were 5w30. 

 

So you're on the right page and you are making sense if you know your 2019 mandates vw508.00.

 

The advanced version of the Total quartz ineo xtra 0w20 seems to be 508.00 compliant. Is it possible they used that? 

 

If not, I would get the the selling dealer to rectify the oil change with 508.00 compliant oil.  If there are any issues with the car during a reasonable period it is the selling dealer who is responsible. And raising the matter with them and getting then to fix it gives you an audit trail of their mistake. 

 

As to your concerns over the use of the oil for few hundred miles, its really unlikely it will cause you issues but should be rectified if its not vw508.00. Also it is useful for you to have the correspondence proof of their mistake and rectification. For peace of mind more than reality. 

 

As for the residue oil, again unlikely to be a problem. They could do a double change with the correct oil to flush and dilute the other oil buy its very very likely overkill. 

 

Edit. Ps try to relax and enjoy the car!
