Golf GTi Mk5 Oil

[rj_astra]

Only diesels need special oil i.e low sap for their particulat filters.

5/30 full synth is your friend.

Think you are wrong on the first point...

507.00 is the rating. If it doesnt have it, good luck if you have engine troubles and want to rely on a warranty. I still do them at 10,000km though, not waiting till 15,000 or longer like you can.

Could be, please explain.

I would like to know so I don't have any cars return with popped engines.

Have not had any returns in......30 years.

No but seriously, please explain.

How much do they hold including a filter change?

I'm pretty sure it's under 5L... but don't quote me on that.

recently worked for VW parts, it's rating 507-00 or it's equivalent. good for the petrol and diesel engines.

Castrol make it for VW which is why it's labelled that way, it's Super Longlife III something something bla bla

We were retailing a 5L for approx $90, not $125 like some other places must do re: post above.

One of the first non-VW groups to come out with the early 504 and the 507 I think was Fuchs. It has other rating numbers/names with other manufacturers. Low-ash and all that for vehicles with DPFs.
