Which oil for LCR225

[LCR225 ALLAN]

Same dude.

Carlube 5w-40, i change the oil every 5-6k anyway, keeps the engine in peak order!

I think the recommended grade for the Cupra R is 503.00 or 503.01, this is in fact a 0w-30 or 0w-40.

503.01 is the biz for the R

I use the Triple R from car lube longlife 503.01 spec 0W 30 fully synthetic about £25 + vat for 5 litres. A bargain for that spec & i have always used the Triple R 5w 40 so i reckon its gr8 !

Yeah, i've just picked up some 0w-30 Triple R too.

AWESOME!

Do you think if I get the dealer to put my Motul 15w-50 oil in the dealer will actually use it (as opposed to using Synta and nicking it for his Golf 1.8T???).

Its so much easier than doing it myself, but always wonder whether they really use your oil if you provide it. Would you trust them??

I've often wondered that as well... I guess you only have their word for it too.
