Hi guys,
I've literally searched endlessly on the different VW oil specs and which are compatible with which car.
I'm pretty sure I don't have a DFP (thank god!) as I have an '06 reg and the exhaust pipes are pointing down so would I be right in saying that I can use any VW 505 01 spec oil?
My car is now on 173k miles and throughout its life it has used the VW 507 00 5w30 fully synthetic oil. I have found from my endless research that for PD engines without DFP's, like mine, it is better to use the VW 505 01 spec 5W40 oil rather than the low SAPs 507 00 oil which are specifically designed for DPF engines.
I have recently purchased a 4 litre bottle of Castrol Edge 5W40 Titanium (VW 505 01 spec) and I'm hoping is this the right oil for my car? I don't want anything to go wrong! thanks
