dazbo12 Posted February 21, 2011 Report Posted February 21, 2011 Going to give my 2001 tdi gal an oil change this weekend just wondering what is the best oil to use?..... Quote
bingo nightly Posted February 21, 2011 Report Posted February 21, 2011 I use Morris stuff in all my vehicles. Performs very well and probably half the price of others if bought from your local motor factor rather than the likes of Halfords etc. This is what you need: (you can check product spec. yourself and for a local supplier via their site) http://www.morrislubricants.co.uk/scripts/prodview.asp?idProduct=46 Quote
seatkid Posted February 21, 2011 Report Posted February 21, 2011 Just make sure it a PD oil and meets spec VW 505.01, 506.01 or 507.00 (DO NOT USE Oils to 505.00 or 506.00) Quote
bingo nightly Posted February 21, 2011 Report Posted February 21, 2011 The tech data sheet pdf for the Morris semi synthetic that I have linked to states it meets 505.01 (though it only says 505.00 on the main page).They also do a fully synthetic if you want to push the boat out. Quote
edatelder Posted February 22, 2011 Report Posted February 22, 2011 Comma PD diesel is a good economic oil from motor factors. I think Halfords do a PD oil now, not too sure. Quote
Jayton Posted February 22, 2011 Report Posted February 22, 2011 Halfords have there own PD oil, I have a bottle of it at home from when the Oil warning light came on and they were the closest place. Quote
gregers Posted February 22, 2011 Report Posted February 22, 2011 (edited) halfords sometimes do a 'bogoff' deal aswell. Edited February 22, 2011 by gregers Quote
daddyfixit Posted February 22, 2011 Report Posted February 22, 2011 used to use the comma pd stuff till i found that the oil from vw was Quote
