Topped up the wrong oil - 132TSI

[rave75]

Hello everyone,

I topped up the wrong oil between service, only 1L though. I used 5w-30 Castrol edge (502/505) instead of the LL version (504/507). My engine is 132tsi petrol.

Is this safe? Should I put the right oil now or wait until the next service?

Thanks in advance.

If it's wrong oil, you need to flush out and inspect ASAP.

I top up the oil in dealership, all free.

Good luck.

Free from any dealer? Last time I went to a dealer, they asked me to buy the oil.

Both free man.

Don’t panic, nothing catastrophic is going to happen.

how many km or months until the next service?

I am at 54k, so 6k more. I do about 20k a year, so in 3 months I am due for service.

Well I only tried Chatswood and since it was not free, I assumed everywhere else is not free either.

Never been to NS VW but heard it was not great.

It is the same dealership as the Parramatta Denlo.

How come two different policies?

I am asking the same thing, they owe me $30 now!

just drive the thing. Although I can’t be bothered checking the owners manual in my wife’s car (same powertrain as yours) it would probably say something about the oil spec you used being perfectly fine, at the expense of losing the extended service interval.

generally speaking, the higher spec is used in order to gain extended drain intervals.
