Sup Gentz,
Any advice on a good oil for an IBIZA FR (BLT engine code - 96kw)?
I hear alot bout the Liqui Moly Toptec 4100. I had Motul X Clean in my old S/l.
Is 5w30 oil or 5w40 oil better for these motors or is this a silly question?
Ibiza FR (96KW) engine oil. 5w30 or 5w40?

Re: Ibiza FR (96KW)
I only use 4100, and 99.99999% of people i've spoken to feel the same.
It is an ingenius solution to a problem that should have never existed in the 1st place...

When a car tailgates me, i slow down - then floor it and give them a cloud of diesel smoke to choke on

Re: Ibiza FR (96KW)
The only difference between a 5W30 and 5W40 is the viscosity at 100 Deg C with the 5W30 being a 'thinner' oil. Stick to whatever viscosity is recommended in your user manual.CoalWorld23 wrote: ↑Thu May 10, 2018 9:12 am but whats the difference between the 5w30 and 5w40 and how does it affect the driveability and longeavity?
