Hi guys.

Just after an opinion really. I normally use Total Quartz 9000 5w40 fully syn in my 6 and for the last 3 years I've been getting it for free however my supply has temporarily dried up so to speak. So I've been looking on ECP's website as they have a sale on and they have Shell helix for about £30 which I'd imagine is pretty good oil??

Also they sell Petronas oil which iirc is about £10 cheaper ( 4ltr ) has anyone had any experience with petronas oil? I know they're a massive Malaysian company and they sponser Mercedes F1. Is it any good? I would never put s**te oil in my engine but it seems so cheap and this makes me unsure??!!

Any advice/opinions welcome

i use 5w40 semi in my HDI when i have to top it up due to an oil leak from the crank seal which has been leaking for 13 months, and it's quicker than a gti6. i also rate this grade of oil

You'd need 5L though wouldn't you matt? If I was you I'd just tty it, I'm sure it's fine. Best way to find out it it is any good is just listen to your engine, as silly as it sounds! Would let you know if it doesn't like it I guess!

I used triple qx, ecp cheap stuff for 100k and mine loved it. She purred like a kitten after a change
