Hello all,
I am new to the forum. I have been reading this forum since some time and happy to be here.
The car is 2010 audi 1.8 Tfsi (160 hp) petrol, and I would like to switch to Shell branded oil.
Vw 504 507, 5w30 oil is the recommended oil for my car. And, 5w30 Fully synthetic oil has been used on this car since new.
The handbook recommends VW504 for petrol engines. Nothing mentioned about viscocity. The sticker under the hood recommends Castrol 5w30 Vw507.
However Shell C3 5w30 oil does not have any of VW 504 507 approval..
Only Shell C2/C3 0w30 has the VW504 507 approval. But I need 5w30 and not 0w30.
So would you still buy the Shell C3 5w30 without the VW504 507 approvals?
I have to make a decision as soon as possible.
Look forward to seeing your opinions.
Please do not suggest Castrol/Mobil/Liqui etc...No petrol station sell them at the place that I live, and I can never be sure of authenticity of these oils unless I buy it from petrol station at the country that I live. That is why Shell is my safest option.
Cheers
