After reading this thread and the oil thread last night I thought Id add some comments
I just received an email opieoils (OO) who have a special offer on
Motul VW SPECIFIC 505 01,502 00,505 00 5W-40 VW Petrol and Diesel engine oil 100% Synthetic £27.20 inc vat
Now Ive obviously read Motul is a good oil from one of the major manufactures.
Anyway I rang OO and said shouldnt the oil be 10W 40 and they said this is the oil to get and its approved.
Also its better on cold starts, and flows quicker

Just rang the main dealer as helpful as ever not

after getting through there automated switchboard

He said there oil was just a part number to reference no 10w 40 etc he only new it it was Castrol :embarassed:
and he works in parts, what a joke

Any way he said £54 for 5l and hed throw in a free oil filter....... Whoopee !!
Anyway my question is anyone running 5W 40 with no problems I have an AUM engine
