I have a query about oil.
I have a 2002 Octavia Estate 1.9TDi 110. It has variable servicing and the oil is meant to be to VW 506.01 standard.
I have always bought Castrol SLX II before. Today, my missus goes to the local Audi garage for a litre of oil to that standard. She has come back with SLX III, which the Audi guy said has replaced SLX II. The label says "504 00/ 507 00" which the Audi guy says means 504 00 - 507 00, therefore 506.01 falls within that bracket and that oil is OK.
Others have written elsewhere that SLX II is now superceded by Edge.
Can you help me? Is SLX III OK for our car or not?
