Re: Oil recommendation?

Perfectly fine , a spec is a spec that's why I also purchase supermarket oil .

Re: What have I bought now!!

Drove an old Legacy estate sideways same colour too .

Same 4wd running gear and turbo engine as Impreza .

Used to park it up and it would 'ping' with heat soak for half an hour .

Re: which gearbox oil 6 speed tdi - official specs only please

G 052 911 is the official spec and is allowed to be a 75W80 or 75W90 , the 80 is preferable as thinner when cold .

Thinner again and supreme is the G 052 171, 70W75 this has been around a long time and used in widely unproblematic gearboxes such as Audi A3 8L S3 and Passat B6
