Topped up the wrong oil - 132TSI

[rave75]

Hello everyone,

I topped up the wrong oil between service, only 1L though. I used 5w-30 Castrol edge (502/505) instead of the LL version (504/507). My engine is 132tsi petrol.

Is this safe? Should I put the right oil now or wait until the next service?

Thanks in advance.

If it's wrong oil, you need to flush out and inspect ASAP.

I top up the oil in dealership, all free.

Good luck.

Free from any dealer? Last time I went to a dealer, they asked me to buy the oil.

Don’t panic, nothing catastrophic is going to happen.

how many km or months until the next service?

I am at 54k, so 6k more. I do about 20k a year, so in 3 months I am due for service.

Well I only tried Chatswood and since it was not free, I assumed everywhere else is not free either.

Never been to NS VW but heard it was not great.

It is the same dealership as the Parramatta Denlo.

How come two different policies?

I am asking the same thing, they owe me $30 now!

just drive the thing. Although I can’t be bothered checking the owners manual in my wife’s car (same powertrain as yours) it would probably say something about the oil spec you used being perfectly fine, at the expense of losing the extended service interval.

generally speaking, the higher spec is used in order to gain extended drain intervals.

502.00 is fine.

502.00 is the minimum spec for fixed interval services. Australia doesn't do variable / LL service.
Look in your service manual

It's only diesels equipped with DPF that 507.00 is mandatory.

Thank you for the info!

As above - using 1L of 502 spec oil is perfectly fine. Don't even worry about it.

I thought VW use Long Life oil which is okay longer service interval (in Europe). I think oil wise it should be okay, the guy service it every 17k km. Only 2k more

Just take the advice given as its correct despite what you may think.

You asked for advice and now you question it.

We arent in Europe and its 15000km here
