What is the main advantage of using a full synthetic vs a semi-synthetic oil?
Semi-synthetic oil can achieve higher levels of performance than from mineral oil alone. Semi-synthetic oil is more wallet-friendly than fully synthetic oil as it comes at a reduced cost whilst still giving you some of the benefits of full synthetic oil.
What is VW 507.00 oil spec?
0w-30(5)
What is VW 502.00 oil spec?

Do Volkswagen need special oil?
Any of the Volkswagen vehicles purchased after 2004 require synthetic oil. This is because the engine’s valves are designed in a different way from most other vehicles on the road. Because of this, they will become clogged and run less efficiently when using traditional oil.
What is better fully synthetic or semi?
Generally, semi-synthetic oils are more expensive than mineral oils and cheaper than fully synthetic oils. Semi-synthetic lubricants offer fewer performance enhancements, protect components less and degrade faster than synthetic oils. Semi-synthetic oils are purer, better-flowing and longer-lasting than mineral oils.
What oil complies with VW 507 00?
SAE 5W-30
LongLife oils meeting 504 00/507 00 are now SAE 5W-30 viscosity.
What type of oil is VW 50400?
All engine oils with VW 504 00 approval are Longlife oils. However, they can also be used in cars without extended change intervals. For diesel engines, the VW 507 00 standard applies accordingly; both specifications are intended for viscosity classes SAE 0w30 and SAE 5w30….Contact.

Can I use 5w40 instead of 5w30?
In practice, this means that each oil is just as viscous at lower temperatures and will remain viscous at -30°C, however 5w40 oil outperforms 5w30 oils at higher temperatures, being effective up to ambient temperatures of 50°C, as opposed to 30°C.
What kind of oil does a VW 505 00 take?
The VW 505 00 oil spec is formulated for older VW TDI, TD and non turbo diesel engines. This is the recommended oil specification for all non Pumpe Duse TDI diesel engines prior to 2004.
When did VW start using multigrade engine oil?
Volkswagen specification for multigrade engine oils for gasoline engines with SAE 5W-X/10W-X viscosity. This is an “old” oil specification and is applicable to engines built before model year 2000 (up to August 1999). Oils with an approval made post March 1997 were given an alternative, later VW specification.
What are the oil specifications for a VW?
Since then this classification system is the starting point for selecting the technically suitable products for all vehicles manufactured by the VW group (Volkswagen, Audi, Seat, Skoda). Check out our new article providing in-depth explanation to all VW motor oil specifications!
How often do you change the oil on a VW?
OEM approved VW 502 00 oil specification engine oils are compatible with the VW fixed oil change intervals of 10,000 miles or once a year. Whichever would occur first. Also, the VW 502 00 oil specification replaces the older VW 500 00 and VW 501 01 oil specification.
