Some say Pentosin.
Can you tell me the price, how much i should need and where to buy at a reasonable price in Port of Spain, El Scorro or St James area.
It is for a VW 2010 B6 2.0 Tsi Passat.
Need to get this today.

Check ERM for similar oil. You may be able to switch to 5w40 oil. Check for VW/Audi approved oils. Usually have the VW502/505 rating on the bottle. 5w30 would be VW504/507 type oil. Might be worth your while to ask southern sales what they use too.

The mobil 1 5w30 is vw502 but i am not sure if its the best for the hot temperatures we have here.
I am leaning to a 5w or 10w 40 oil.
I believe southern sales recommends the 5w 30 which is also one of the international recommendations.
I also need to find plugs and oil filter, called ERM and they dont have any.
Thanks

Yeah I doubt ERM has things for your engine cuz it won't be in volume locally. The oil though you might have a better chance.
Do you have a service manual for your s5? Don't worry with the heat thing. Worry more about sulphur content and changing your oil often.
Will see what I can find with respect to engine oil. Do you have Stronic or manual?

Came with castrol edge 5w30
Changed to Total quartz 9000 5w40 - Federals Sando bess price for gallons (~$250 around there per gal)
Trying Amzoil euro formula 5w40 currently - I think its a good price @ $360 Parts Solution P/Town but its 5L which is more than a gallon)
Changing around 8k miles.. Based on research the Amzoil has had great results..

Somehow just can't bring myself to believe that amsoil is the Lord of Oil. I think it is lot of marketing hype. Always talking about being the first in synthetics... in 1950. Idk. We have any oil engineers in the house?
