A4 Avant 2.0 TDi Questions

Hi everyone, brilliant forum, some lovely cars on here!. I'm sorry if this Q has been asked many times, I'm going to service my car, and I've been told it must be 507.00 oil. My car has a BRE engine, non dpf. Is 505.01 ok to use, car will be serviced every 6 months.
It's a march 2006 car. Many thanks in advance for advice.
Regards, Robbie

Which 505.01 are you referring to?

You don't have to run 507. Generally is considered long life oil for 15-20k mile services.

505 = fixed interval oil
506 = flexible service interval oil.


505.01 = PD's on fixed interval
506.01 = PD's on flexible service interval


507 = universal diesel standard for both fixed & flexible service interval.

Hi, we have 505.01 morris multivis 5w/40 at work. According to data sheet it's suitable for 505.01 pd on fixed servicing. Just wasn't too sure if it was suitable for my car! Cheers
