15,000km service

[voption]

I paid $280 for my 15,000km service at a VW dealership.
It was the cheapest one i found in Sydney.

Service was great and car was fine but assuming it got done through a VW dealer service that they would/must use genuine VW oil.

On my invoice it shows Valvoline Synpower XL-111 5W-30.

Is that acceptable?

do you mind to let me know which vw dealer?

i was quoted $400 from 4/5 dealers, so surprised that you can get that cheap

thanks

I am coming up to my 15000 service, rapidly. I will probably go with one of the Belco boys for convenience and the discount offered by salary sacrifice... Will repost cost here

Do you get a choice of where your car is serviced with salary sacrifice?

Under mine I have two choices, either go to a place which is already setup to use my particular company (which the local dealer is). If I go to one of these places they take my fuel card and just charge it all to the account.

If I choose to go elsewhere I can pay out of my own pocket then put in a claim against my account to be re-imbursed. From what I understand too, any place can apply to the lease company to setup an account allowing them to direct bill the lease company.


Summary: Yes I can choose who I want.

As long as the Valvoline complies with the oil standard as set out by VW. You know what I mean.

According to this, it does.

SynPower® Motor Oil

Hmm, yes in Belgium.
I didn't see anything saying approved for VW504.00/507.00 on valvoline.com.au site. But in the 125TSI case it maybe doesn't matter in short term.

It would be worthwhile to contact Valvoline technical help line and ask if the oil is VW approved for 504.00/507.00 ? My understanding from their site and oil label is that it isn't. Otherwise the label and their site would state clearly "approved for VW..."
