Magnet Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Hello David, Hopefully someone else will be along and be definite, but I think (should be in caps!) it is fully synthetic 5w/30. But please, please double check. Halfords normally have on-the-counter reference books at the point where they sell their oil. The recommended grade of oil is also likely to have an Audi 'specification number', so be certain the one you choose satisfies this as well. IF it is 5/30 then I've been using a Quantum brand ( their Longlife 3) which I understand is/was recommended by VAG. It's currently available with some eBay sellers at around £25 for 5ltrs. Incase it helps, if I'm not using VAG filters then I will only use Mann as an alternative. Hope some of this helps, but please recheck. Kind regards, Gareth.

Magnet Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Hello David, Is Magnatec fully synthetic, or something like 'synthetic technology!' ? Kind regards, Gareth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Wood Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 Hi Gareth Yep that's correct - Magnatec fully synthetic My only complaint was that container doesn't have a pouring nozzle, good job I had a funnel. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
