Doesn't meet the VW specs (probably does but from a marketing perspective they leave it off the specs list) like the Edge range.
This is 5w-30 - ticked
This is Fully Synthetic - ticked
This is MUCH cheaper than Edge - WIN!
Looks like my local store isn't participating in eBay sales or something. Nothing shows as in stock for click and collect.
There is no stock for me too.
I only managed to get one of these via click and collect. Was going to get two, but still. $22 is a nice price. Thanks OP.
Be careful to check properly if you're driving a newer 4WD as it'll likely want 5W 30 Dexos oil. This is not Dexos.
Dexos is not really much except marketing.
Yeah and warranty, you're screwed without it if your vehicle is Dexos/Dexos 2.
Serious question, how do they know? Different colour?
@Calvin27: if you've got a blown head on your engine then believe me, they'll have it tested if they find that you haven't had it serviced at a dealership.
Anyone know of any reasonably priced full synthethic 0W40?
Unless you live in alpine with snow over winter, you don't need 0-40w
Thanks. Nowhere near any snow! Perth in fact! So would this 5W30 do the job of the recommended Mobil1 0W40?
No idea. Depends on car.
Look up the owner's handbook. It has oil thickness range that the car can accept.
The lower number is spec at cold, so that can go up. You can try 5-40
Sadly ebay doesnt work , cant get it as click and collect
Guys please ask your mechanic, this is STOP START engine oil not suitable for daily usage cars I guess. please correct me if I'm wrong.
if you are keen to buy another I think it works for 1 purchase per day. I just placed an order today and 1 yesterday.
If another store is handy, get one from each per day.
Anyone know the difference between this and edge which has the same spec 5-30 and is also full syn?
