Best deal on oil for PD-TDI

[BenG]

Hi Oilman.

Got a Mk1 Leon FR TDI (1.9 PD engine), remapped, 57k miles. About to do my first oil change since purchase.

What's the best oil deal from Opie Oils for this engine at the moment? I'm going to be running short, fixed oil change intervals of 5-7k miles (my annual mileage).

Cheers,

Ben

A good oil and a good price.

Thanks - seemed like a good price to me as well, given that Halfords are charging over £40 for their own-brand stuff

Looks like I'll need a couple of litres of sythetic transmission fluid and some Silkolene Pro RG2 grease as well (for my bike)...

If you order asap, use the code CLEARANCE for 15% off.

I to am in the same boat, perhamps you could shed some light on something for me

2005/2005 Leon FR 150 tdi,

Opie oils website, if you click through "right oil for my car ) Seat leon 2004 FR 110kw you end up here

Fuchs TITAN GT1 LONGLIFE III 5W-30 Premium Synthetic meeting VW504.00, VW507.00

Millers Oils XF Longlife 5w-30

Mobil 1 ESP 5W-30 Fully Synthetic Engine Oil

Motul VW SPECIFIC 504 00-507 00 5W-30 Gasoline and Diesel oil for EURO IV engines

Castrol EDGE 5W-30 FST fully synthetic engine oil

If you view oil by specification, vw-50501-


the main choices are 5w-40 oils opposed to the 5w30

so which is better / if any?

Hi

The website overspecifies to keep things simple, it recommends the latest spec for all VAG cars. The ones the site lists are fine for your engine, but cost more than the 505.01 spec oils. Personally, I'd save the money and get a 505.01 oil.
