Should you use longlife oil in cupra Rs ?

[Lodgey180]

car is due a service and i know there is a thread with all usefull specs and rec specs

HOWEVER

i have been on castrol site and VW's quantum site and apparently we are to use longlife oil in cupra R's

now what i want to know is what exactly is in your cupra r ??

ive always used quantum synta **** or normal synta

I wouldnt bother with 10-20k oil services which is what long life is for. Its far better to do a oil service at half year/5-6k intervals and stick with 5w30 fully synthetic that meets the vw rating. I opted for 5w30 mobile 1 esp as its cheaper than castrol where i get trade and is supposedly better.

well 5w30 fully synth is quantum longlife 3 and castrol edge??
so is this all a scam

I use Millers XF longlife for my LCR and do 6,000 miles services, but my car gets a bit of a hard time so I don't mind loking after the engine/turbo with good oil and I've done 91,000 miles with no engine bother

Edge 5w/30 all the way!!!!! i change it once a year had no problems with engine so far. Also buy a ECS magnetic drain plug from Awsome gti there great. You'll be amazed at what they pick up!
