[Vin-R]

Hi guys, was just wondering, Ive had my leon now almost 4 months, checked the dipstick last night and the oils running low ...

Just wanted to ask you guys what oil i should be using to top it up really. Its a LEON CUPRA R on a 05 plate.

thanks

5w30 fully synthetic for VAG 504.00

Castrol Edge is good

thanks guys... as usual

do you know who changed the oil last? - it would be good to kep it the same.

Many people increase the number of oil changes, so rather than a top up it may be worth doing a change.

 

[Ruddmeister]

VW / VAG / SEAT's own synthagold used to be relatively cheap and of the required standard

0W-30 fully synthetic long life. GSF said this is the reccomended grade and has the 504.00 mark on it so it is the one to use so im told.

 

[robreidmotors]

GSF stock Fuchs which is superb stuff.

If the level is low check for leaks, if a seal needs doing good idea to do it same time as oil change.

 

[Vin-R]

R power says 0W-30 and Jason S says "5w30 fully synthetic for VAG 504.00"

whats the diff guys?

surprising actually, as theh car was serviced "so they told me" at 60k with cambelt change.

its just under 63k now ... so wonder why the oil needs topping up ?? theres no leaks on the drive...
