Quantum VW 507.00 Oil - 1 Litre

    Hi all

    Quick question - anyone know if/where I can get a 1 Litre bottle of the Quantum 507.00 oil? Have tried local VW and Audi dealers but 5l only.

    Seems to have the part number ZGB115QLB00500, but can't find an Irish seller anywhere.

    Our cars use very little oil so would take an age to go through 5l, but I don't like not having a 1l bottle in the boot.

    If not I'll just get a 1l bottle of Castrol or similar, but the cost......

    Cheers

    It seems its available in uk alright.
    Try skoda but tbh, the experienced mechanics here tend to believe it's not as good as the branded oils so maybe just get a bottle of Castrol edge or Mobil 1 or something.

    Got a one litre bottle of castrol matching that spec the other day from a Skoda dealer for a tenner. It seems to be the standard price as I paid the same at another Skoda dealer a couple of years back.

    Thanks both, I planned to try the Skoda dealer but it's not as easy to get to as their sibling garages!

    I have read online that the Quantum oil is made on the same line in Cheshire as Castrol Edge.....not sure if that's true or not.

    I was told before by Audi that Quantum was Castrol Edge anyway. They even sold it to me a few times when I went in for oil. I'd just get a litre of that with the correct VW number on it.

    They claim its the same oil and yes the edge is the correct oil but there is a major price difference.
    I think George Dalton said that he wasn't convinced that the Quantum was the same oil from seeing it in use.

    Thats very very cheap for 1L of 50700 spec Castrol from a dealer I would have thought.

    It is alright considering the same thing is more than twice the price in Halfords. They've been doing it at that price for a good long while.
