  • Motor Oil

    Hi Guys, sorry but I am still a bit new to this and I need to top up the motor oil in my Scirocco, could let me know what kind to buy and which brand? the vehicle is still under warranty so I would like the proper stuff.
    Thanks

    Easiest to get would be Penrite 5W-30 Enviro+.

    It's called exactly that, and carries the correct 504/507 VW approval.

    If in doubt, you can buy the correct oil from your preferred VW dealer.

        Shell Helix Ultra Extra is also pretty common.

        Repco has valvoline Synpower 3 on special at the moment for <$60 / 5L

        It needs to have VW Approval 504.00 / 507.00 on the label. The Approval is the important bit. If it simply "meets the requirements / specification" then they haven't paid VW to have it tested.

          If your under warranty and are either getting it serviced at the dealer or haven't reached the first service yet, just take it to the dealer for a top up.
