Newbie! Oil Question, Quantum Longlife III or Platinum

[Genoc]

I've recently bought a 2006 Ibiza Cupra Tdi.. and am getting confused, should I be buying the Quantum Longlife III or the Platinum oil for it?

thanks Gemma

Does not matter as long as the oil is either 506.01 / 507.00 spec.

Thank you, so the difference in 5w30 and 5w40 doesnt matter, its just the price tag that is very different! the longlife is much dearer!

Think i put the newest one in mine from SEAT, thats the platinum i think.

It will really depend on if you are running the "long service" regime as far as oil changes are concerned as the Platinum, I think, will be for fixed time/distance service regimes.

The man above is correct; platinum is the oil of choice for a 'normal' service interval.

Longlife as the name states, is for the extended service interval!
