Oil for 01 Cupra

[DaneJD89]

Alright chaps,

Need a bit of advice, need to top up the oil on my 2001 Ibiza Cupra, what can people recommend, according to the previous owner Mobil 1 10w 40 of some sort was used last, now I would usually go to GSF and get what they recommend for that vehicle in the past but that was on not very high performance motor's so I did not worry too much, is there anything I should use inparticular? It is only a see me through till after christmas it will then get a full service with the best stuff possible, just dont want to let it run low.

Appreciate any help!

Dane.

5w40 or 10w40 fully synth.

Motul 300V, Silkolene Pro-S and Millers Competition oils are widely considered the best as they are ester based

Thank's mate, would you say im alright going with some 10w40 fully synth from GSF to top it up for now, then I shall go for one of the recommended come new year when I give her a full service

If your just toping it up i would use the same as is already in it. I wouldnt want to mix diferent grades really

Getting the same grade is no problem it will just be a different brand, still overall a different oil yeah I better be carefull

 

[chrissy1502002]

Like i said i would stick to the same grade and also try and get a well know make also. The make IMO is not a massive issue, just aslong as you use the same grade.

chrissy these last couple of threads mate you have been telling people to search . as above he have . i had this problem a while back couldn't find what i was looking for. and people saying use the search i no that's what its there for but doesn't always come up with what you want. mate. everyone gives advice bar yourself mate as that's all you say search. thats all you seem to do mate is tell people to search haven't you got anything else better to do than talk . and you only seem to do it to new members . surprising how many threads are made a day you haven't gone through them all saying use search . i noticed its to new members . being a ....... would not get you anywhere in life. wtf

 

[s1l3nc3r]

There is pages of info on what oil people use. aswell as almost everything else.

Somtimes people dont use the right words in the search which is why they dont yeald the results thats all.

And it takes 4.5 litres if using a new oil filter as i can see this question coming next.

Firstly if you are going to "have a go" at me, please have the decency to use proper English along with the correct grammar.

Now admittedly the last few threads that I have commented on I have told people to use the search button. The reason for this is that I took it upon myself to search for what they were asking, and I found many threads already started and answered on the same things. Therefore I thought it was fair to think that if they had searched that they would have come across the threads which I did answering their original post, therefore saving not only the time of the original poster, but also the effort of others.

see now thats helpfull . and not USE THE SEARCH. yeah i think thats whats happening people aint using correct words. ect

 

[daves ibiza]

lol. love it . fair play.

If you wish to continue this further, please feel free to PM me as per the forums rules, and so as not to spam this thread with pointles crap!

 

[daves ibiza]

exactly your making it difficult when you answer anyway mate. anyway back to topic .

 

[chrissy1502002]

I have no problem if someone has actually searched and can’t find the answer, my problem is when people say that they have searched and when clearly they haven’t because when I search for the very same thing I find pages after pages with relevant information.

Please don’t think that all I do is have a go at people, as that’s not what im trying to do.

 

[daves ibiza]

as above matey 5w40 or 10w40 fully synth.

 

[daves ibiza]

ok dude well thats a fair point but as you say if they cant be bothered why should you
