Just wondering how often you guys change the oil in your cupra's.

I've been doing mine every 6months for the past 2 years, but the oil always looks pretty clean when it comes out, i'm thinking of making it every 9months from now on to save a few quid

I always use Castrol Edge 5w-30 and an OEM Spec filter, and i do 8-10k miles a year

I appriciate your opinions?

Cheers

EZT :)

I change every 6k miles with Mobil One Super S :p

don't be fooled into thinking its a mobil one brew, just rebranded comma euro light 10w-40 semi syth, Without trying to cause an argument :whistle: a fully synth 5w-40 would probably be best below 100k miles (then 5w-50 after that)

it will be fine tbh its just the oil is thicker with the 10w-40 when cold (so takes long to get proper oil pressure) in the winter I would use a 5w-40 or 0w-40 (thinner when cold same thickness when hot)
