Ray1965 10 Posted February 13, 2015 I have a planned full oil change in the next couple of months. I checked the cars level and it does need a top up. The oil what is in the car now unfortunately i don't know the make vicosity used from when i got the car. So my question is would it be ok to buy a grade of 10/40 oil say semi syn and top up with this until i do the full drop of the oil? The reason for the top up is a have found a small weep on the oil cooler so will be also sorting this out also. What does this job actually in tail?

I'd definitely use it when changing it out though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim 2 Posted February 13, 2015 That should be fine. Though I'd just go to my local TPS / VW dealer and get Quantum / Synta Silver personally! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
