I'M LOOKING TO DO AN ENGINE OIL CHANGE ON MY 170 SUPERB MK2 DIESEL. I'VE ALWAYS USED QUANTUM/LONGLIFE 5W - 30, BUT THERE SEEMS SO MANY THESE DAYS. THE CAR HAS A DPF FITTED, WOULD THE FOLLOWING OIL BE OK TO USE. PRICES RANGE FROM £32 TO £60, I'VE ALWAYS PAID AROUND £35 SO WANT TO STICK AROUND THAT PRICE MARK?

No, you need one rated to 507 00.

1. Stop shouting!
2. Don't quote FleaBay's tracking cluff if you want useful technical answers.

@ddan1275 typing in capitals is considered to be shouting.

@Breezy_PeteHi, What does 507 rating mean so i can have a look online? We don't have any Skoda dealers locally and the only VW dealers put their rate up from £35 to £65 and blamed covid like everything.

 

@Paws4Thot Sorry about the caps, it should be clear from the sentence I wasn't shouting, I just didn't know how to change all text to lower case again on a mac.

Whats tracking cluff?

If it doesn't say "VW 507 00" anywhere on the container, then it isn't suitable.

The one you linked doesn't clearly show it within the link, but I know from having bought some myself (for a car that it does suit) that this one isn't rated to 507 00. You can just about make out 505 00/505 01 as the approvals that it does have in this screenshot.  Not DPF compatible.

 

 

 

13000+ results to choose from here, but double check before ordering that it really does say 507 00 on the pack.

PS, it doesn't matter what else it says, as long as it has 507 00. For example, all of them are likely to also say 504 00, that's fine.

Thanks, would you advise using a none VW supplied brand? I've always stuck with the quantum and longlife brands from the dealer with good results having spent many years in the past using cheaper branded oils and getting poor results, especially on motorbikes where the wear was noticed a lot sooner.

Doesn't matter as long as it says 507 00.

If you want the psychological reassurance of something connected to VW Group, this is the Quantum version you want (not necessarily the best price, haven't checked: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/154621437616?epid=7032265364
