T5 engine oil

Thanks for that Transporter that makes it more clearer , and makes sense .

Thanks mate. But wont be getting now anyway as it's sold out at that cheap as price! Probably go with the same version from Penrite. Damn VW and their 7 litre sumps!

I use the same oil in the Missuses Volvo and that takes more!

As I recall, there was an old car, a Railton perhaps that had a 25 gallon splash feed sump.

sold my 08 multi with nearly 300,000km, I changed engine oil every 10000km and had no engine issues, I bought a 2012 and was hoping for suggestions on the best engine oil, and is 15000km intervals recommended, country car so not many short trips, missus does about 30000km a year

Is it normal to hear the tappets on these engines? Could hear a distinct tapper knock on cold engine this morning, never could tell that sort of noise on 5 cylinder cause too much engine noise !

Listened when missus came home, no tapped noise when warm

Certainly concerned with the oil consumption of my newly purchased 2l, seems like it didn't use any oil at 110 but that done a long trip doing 120-140 and used a lot of oil

My two previous 2,5's never ever needed a top up between service

Just bought 10l Penrite two drain and refill with fresh stuff

Try adding LiquiMoly Viscostabil into the oil. I’d use 0.5L in the sump to reduce the oil burning.

Tried copy photo, didn't work
Read elsewhere regarding C and D letter next oil filter, concerning EGR failure, mine reads
03L 115 512 C

That last C the one ?

Just figured out from other thread that’s the right letter, sorry

[Kombi]

T seems I’ll have to order online, any recommendations? Is visco stable plus the same thing ?
