Top Up Oil

[JP6]

What oil are you guys using to top up between services? I have a VZ2 310 and the spec label under the bonnet is VW 504 00 / VW 507 00 but doesn't mention which viscosity.

Looks to be 0W30 or 5W30, unsure which would be better though.

I have a small sticker in the engine compartment with 0W30, on my Leon 300

Looked at Opie earlier, they only have options for the Ateca, Formentor isn’t listed.

They're all VAG cars. Formentor 310 engine is identical to the Ateca 310.

0W30 is correct for the 310, sticker on mine.

Great thanks, good to know the correct one rather than assumption.
