Semi or fully

[Fastkwak]

I own a vRS 1.8t and i have it on the fixed service schedule which Skoda reccomend semi synthetic oil but i have always been brought up to believe that a turbo needs fully synth if you want to get a good long life out of it . Any views or help will be muchly appreciated guys

Cheers

In my very honest opinion you should put only good quality fully synthetic that meets the required VAG standards 502.00 for normal servicing every 10k or 503.00 for long life servicing.

I think you wont make any mistake if you put 503.00 and change it every 10k.

Take a look at opieoils website for makes like fuchs, motul, castrol.

Cheers

in my autodata book it says vag 18t engines have updated/upgraded to fully syth 5/30w to prevent black death clogging your oilpump(common)

its not cheap if your is a oilburner though

andrew pages sell comma fully syth for modern audi/vw engines i use this, enough for a oil change is £32 squid

think the castrol 5/40 for dervs sure its 5/30 for petrols
