Husam got a garage in Baqa al-Gharbiyye. He worked for Champion Motors at Netanya overall 10 years in VW/Audi. Great person and professional. I got a lot of compliments about his work from a lot of people and I can tell that all of them true.
The price of the service was great and I even added extra bonus for him because I was really impressed.
Regarding the oil. I bought already Valvoline SynPower XL-III 5W-30 with VW 504 approval but after that I was able to ask some professional advice (in Russian) about oil I use.
The summary:
- 504 can be used in place of 502 but it's LowSAPS oil. 502 is better in terms of wear and protection. 504 is more for ecology sake and not for your engine.
- maximum replacement interval is 10-15 kkm. With more city traffic - 10 is maximum. I can't imagine what happens at 30! :-)
- if in doubt - follow manufacture instructions.
- better oil for mine engine is Mobil 1 0W-40 that is also approved by VW 502.
So I drove to Alon Halafim (that now have internet site) and changed 4 liters of 504 to 5 liters of 502.
Valvoline SynPower 5W-40, VW 502 - 5 liters: 200 NIS (Alon Halafim, oil date - Jan 2012)
03C 115 561 D - oil filter: 60 NIS (Exist)
N 908 132 02 - oil drain plug: 8 NIS (Exist)
Work: *** NIS (less than in Skoda garage)
This oil I used (VW 502 approval)
