Magnet Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Hello Kevin, Thanks for joining, and welcome. Re. engine oil:- I can only go by personal experience with our 173k humble 1.6 petrol - still using the recommended 5w/30 and have always used Quantum Longlife since it came out of Audi dealer servicing. As I understand it, Quantum ( believed to be a subsidiary of Castrol) has been/still is? VAG recommended brand. I don’t see any reason to change brands and certainly not grade. With ours, the oil gets changed annually ( annual mileage now c7K) together with a Bosch, Mann, Hengst oil filter ( I won’t use filters from a certain three letter factors). Air filter and pollen filter gets changed every other year - that’s my routine. Quantum Longlife 5w/30 is available from a number of eBay sellers. Hope this helps. Kind regards, Gareth.

Solution Magnet Posted September 20, 2023 Solution Share Posted September 20, 2023 Just had a look on eBay for you - Quantum 5w/30 Longlife 3 from CE Automotive is £35.75. Think I got my last lot from them, but no connection. Kind regards, Gareth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
