Longlife oil from dealers?

[Waffs1984]

Ok so I know this is a common questions, ive done a search and cant come to a conclusion over 10w40 or 5w30 as there seems to be mixed opinions?!

I went to the dealers and under my reg no I've bought Quantum longlife 3 fully synth 5w30, part no. Zgb 115 qlb 00 501. I'm now worried I should be using 10w40?

Any advice or opinions appreciated to put my mind at ease!

Cheers,

Matt

this is my 4th 1.8t an always used 10w 40 part synthetic with no worries

5w30 will be ideal

use 5w30, but its a thinner oil and better for the tappets, but if it starts dissapearing then use the 10w40, but you shouldnt have any problems

Cool, thanks for the replies guys! Will get cracking tomorrow morning, should keep me out of trouble for an hour or so ;-)

5w30 is a good choice.

Or better still - use the 5/40 oil (also available from the dealers). Best of both worlds.

Yeah I run Quantum Platinum 5/40 fully synth in my AGU, have done so since I've owned it so about 15,000 miles with a couple of changes, no issues Old owner ran it on 10/40 semi synth however!

10/40 VW put in mine this service as they had no 5w30

Well oil and filter all done, took it up the road and back and it seems to run better, altho that could be due to the new air filter I fitted to the cai, the old one was ugh!
