Cars of this era do not take 0w20 oil... I'm sorry, that's just *****
The newer VEA engines do, but this car in question doesn't have a VEA engine. Stick with what your owners manual says or the sticker in the engine bay on the slam panel over the headlights. I guarantee it doesn't say 0w20 in an older D5 or even an older petrol engine. I think Clan has made a mistake.

Disappointed Clan that you've not been back on thread to correct the record when you've been on the Forum since several of us posted in response to you stating 0w/20.

AŁ/B4 spec....
0w30 A3/B4 - This is getting like hen's teeth now....there are very few suppliers of this for the 163hp Euro 3 Black top engine....anyone know of a good source for this spec?
PS I wouldn't change my oil every 18,000 - it's way to long and oil is cheap compared to a new engine..... Cheers, Nobby |
