golf 4 tdi (AHF) shell hx7 or hx7av???

Post by cmpelser »

I need to do an oil change this weekend, last time I used HX7.
But now I've been google'n and reading etc. about HX7AV......... :crazy:
What oil should I be using?
Is it better to use HX7AV or is it just for the pd motors???
Thanks!

Only the PD needs the AV.

Last time I paid R70 per L inclusive of VAT.
