they were doing a special a while ago for $29.95 so the above price seems possible. I might have to go grab some.

Yeah i came across this shopping for parts last week. Cheap as hell.

Anyone happen to know if this oil would be suitable or had use with it for a 2007 Golf MKV R32.

Apparently it conforms to VW: 502 00/505 00.

Although the manual states something like 504 00 (with lifelong service) is required; thereby CASTROL SLX PROFESSIONAL POWERFLOW LONGLIFE III being more appropriate.

Also noticing my oil is running on the low side, close to minimum. Wanting to top up my oil, can i just add a few quarts, or do i need to drain the oil completely?

P.S. youve probably noticed by now im no means mechanically sound. LOL

I think they're selling 0w-40 for about $45 as well, noticed in the junk mail the other day. I don't take much notice of oil prices, as I buy my oil direct from Castrol (I work for a dealership that uses Castrol) :þ

You can just top up as required.

504.00 is required if you are on variable services (Long Life spec).
In Australia, we are on fixed service regime, so 502.00 is the minimum spec for MkV petrol engines.

Either of the Castrol Edge Sport mentioned above will do the job.

For those that feel compelled to use 504.00, Shell Helix Ultra Plus is 504.00/507.00 approved (one of the factory fill oils apparently) and is on special at SCA for $70. If you'd bought at the 20% sale last Saturday it was $60.

No problems thanks for clarifying that, i read a rather extensive thread with a 8 page debate on oil with no real decisive answer. I'll just top it up and rest assured that it meets the criteria for VW warranty validation.

...and yep that price has been confirmed just got off the phone with Supercheap auto.
