Scirocco Central

I'm wanting to buy some oil with a view to topping up when necessary. The engine has the long life oil in, but I can only find the VW code for this oil in the handbook. Does anyone know the rating so I can get some of the shelf, rather than through VW?

Its called Castrol edge mate, about 14 quid a litre from halfrauds. make sure you get the 5W-30. If you take the VW spec from your handbook you will be able to check on the bottle as the code is on there.

I was given a small VW leather bag with my rocco, velcro'd to the side of the boot. Had a litre of oil and some castrol cardboard funnels and wipes etc... No one else got that?

thanks for that, sir_rocco. WIll get some later. No free litre with my car

I have the VW version which came with me when I traded in my golf - mine does take hard cornering though!!

Afaik, the oil type is different in different countries.

In norway, the dealers use Shell Oil.

My dealer gave me a litre of Shell Helix in a little silver bag that fits behind the strap on the left hand side of the boot.
I am obviously not giving it enough wellie though as it it is still in place
