How much oil for 06 gti with filter change??
« on: 23 February 2010, 19:55 »
Hi guys,

going to get the garage to change my oil and filters but was going to supply them with the oil, castrol edge 5w 30 seems to be the stuff, but how much do I need for an oil and filter change? It seems to come in 4 litres only.

Cheers

Costco used to sell it cheaply in 1 litre bottles (packed into 3) so if you get 6 bottles you'll have 1.5 spare for topping up.

What are peoples thoughts on Comma's 5-30 oil as it comes in 5lts containers and  is specially formulated for VW'S?
Is it reccomended to flush the engine out prior to putting the new oil in or is that a needless additional expense?
