Which oil?

Featured Replies

My Superb has done just less than 7,000miles and is coming up saying oil is low. The sticker on the inside of the bonnet says "VW508 00, VW509 00 SAE 0W-20"

Any advice as to which is best? It's a 1.5L Petrol hybrid (not plug-in)

Thanks

Topping up just,

The best is the Recommended oil from VW Group, so VW508 00 / 509 00, that is 0w 20 FS IV Who produces it on the Retail label / name matters not. Asda / Tesco / Comma / Shell / Total / Mobile etc etc Even Castrol, you decide.

Thanks. So are they three different types or are 508, 509 and ow-20 basically the same?

Spec VW508 00 TSI,,s 509 00 TDI,s. Same oil / same bottles,

but be sure it says it is to the Spec VW 508 00 / 509 00 so the 0w 20 FS IV.

THis one looks a decent price https://www.onlinecarparts.co.uk/febi-bilstein-18432860.html?utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=google&_gl=1*dpexv*_up*MQ..*_gs*MQ..&gclid=CjwKCAiAraXJBhBJEiwAjz7MZfgmPs9k6zCyuTUoLUbObC13WlWmlTIzyNA8X9u2IqltNdj64TjaYxoCcf8QAvD_BwE&gbraid=0AAAAACXxPA0QJucGqGwjdRU0lT4sVG1bn

I think I'm correct in saying it is the right oil?

I always use Opie Oils www.opieoils.co.uk for my supply and use Fuchs Oils, never let me down, deliveryand price is excellent. They currently have a black Friday discount as well.

Opieoils for me as well, for many years now.👍

Correct spec, reasonable price and easily available in branches if urgent/near to one...
