Will my car be ok if I have put this oil in I have the mk1 04 1.2 petrol

Hell yeah, I wouldn't have spent that much on such an ancient engine but it's more than good enough!

I got it for free from work 😂

For those interested, Home Bargains had a 4 litre can of VAG 805.01 at a reasonable price.

@VWD   Is that a typo and actually 4 litres of VW505.1 ?

Probably, and it might just be his local store, it's not available from their website and the nearest one is over 20 miles from me so I ain't doing a 40 mile round trip to possibly save a fiver!

Yep. typo. Senior moment, I could not remember the oil my PD uses. In fact, I'm finding finding a place thet stocks 505.01 rarer as days go by. I'm thinking I might have to swallow bullet and buy the other one( 507????).

 I've only spotted it in Tamworth , but not in local store.

Im lucky that even at 135k mine uses a teaspoon , so I might look at Asda 3 litre tins of 505.01.

Sorry, folks, I post when I can, but PC is in my upstairs den, and hip/knee do not like stairs, so once down I stay down, unless "medication" allows me up ,and "medication" can mean senior typos.

Sep, I got mine in Tamworth, approx 10 miles, but on a trip to give engine a run / get cheap fuel/ raise fingers rampant to local fuel places circa 7/10 p a litre higher. 

 

For those looking for other grades of oil for older engines, Asda might be worth a look, but latest offerings are 4L time. I don't know what the petrol engines need, but they seem to have differing grades, not just 5L of 505.01.Their wiper blades are not bad at £4 a side.
