Done. Can Anyone recommend an oil for top ups? I've seen a Castrol 5w-30 which is VW compliant, but i've only seen it in a 5L bottle. And i would hate to spend $75 if there's an alternative.Originally Posted by GTR27
Sweet. Chuck you car in your sig so we know model etc
Edit - I've updated my sig but it isn't showing up. Weird.

Penrite enviro+ 5w-30 is vw 504/507 approved, about $17/ bottle from supercheap
Edit: for 1l that is. ~75 for 5l. Wait for sc 20% off sale, or repco oil sale and you can get it for $55-60

Awesome, i'll check it out. Only had the car two weeks and noticed today that the oil was at 3/4 on the dipstick.

Mine was delivered like that. Top it up to full before you think you're losing oil

Since my first oil change I use Liquid Moly 5-30 Top Tec 4200. I have a 1 litre bottle in the boot. You can pick it up from Autobarn. I paid $20 through my mechanic.

You've probably got sigs turned off.
GL lubricants does Mobil1 504/507 in quart bottles (950ml) for about $13.50. There's 6 bottles in a carton. he's got a web site & an ebay store.
The rock bottom cheapest you'll get 504/507 is $55 on a discount offer

To the experts here - has anyone used Fuchs lubricants? What is your experience like? How are they compared to Penrite?
Which one do you recommend for the Octavia RS - Fuchs Lubricants (Australasia) Pty Ltd - Home.

I use Fuchs exclusively on my motorbikes now. It's great oil. Search for the vw504/507 rating and buy that one

I tried Fuchs in the Subaru when I had it and it seemed fine - as good as any of the Mobil1, Castrol, etc that I poured into it. The only reason I didn' continue with use was the shop I boutght it from was inconvenient to get to.
The VW504/507 is TITAN GT1 PRO C-3 SAE 5W-30
502.00 is the GT1 Pro-Flex 5w-30 and the GT1 5w-40
