The Best Engine Oil For Audi & Volkswagen 

Before commenting anything stupid, check out Volkswagen's official Spec data - www.oilspecifications.org/articles/vw_motor_oil_specifications_explained.php It's pretty simple. For all VW/Audi/Seat/Skoda engines: Diesel engines without DPF - 5W30 / 5W40 - VW504/VW505/VW507 Diesel engines with PD & DPF - 5W30/5W40 - VW504 / VW505.01 / VW507 Diesel engines with DPF - 5W30 - VW504/VW507 Special Diesel engines - VW506 (V10 TDI) Gasoline engines NA (No turbo) - 0W30 / 0W40 / 5W40 / 10W40 / 10W60 - VW502/VW505 Gasoline engines with Turbocharging/Supercharging - 5W30 / 0W40 / 0W30 / 10W60- VW502/505/504/507 Sport gasoline engines (aggresive driving) - 0W40 / 10W60 - VW502/VW505 (No long life) Long life (casual or no sport driving or race tracking) - 5W30 - VW504/507 The best all around oil for gasoline (fuel economy / performance / protection) = 0W40 with no Long Life interval. For Diesel engines, 0W30 /5W30 with Long Life. 5 = cold viscosity W = Winter 30 = hot viscosity Extremely cold areas = 0W20 / 0W30 / 0W40 oil is recommended.

Great info and post and thanks for posting, anyone can write comments and critique but it takes someone with knowledge and testicles to post good info like this.

Excellent explanation of VW recommended oils and VW oil standards.

Hi, Thanks for the great information. I have an Audi A6 (4B) 2.4 V6 from 2004. I have been using Castrol 5w30 but as you say in the video I have the same issue with the oil consumption! I drive almost everyday, Witch one do you recommend for my Audi A6? Thanks (Y)

Thank you. Great information. A bit hard to see the white board but excellent presentation bro.

Very helpful video 👍 I have been using a total 5w40 synthetic oil for my vw engine, what's the implications supposing I want to change to a castrol 5w40? Thanks 😊

Thanks for explaining that so well. So I guess I’ll try that 10w 60 in the middle of your diagram that you said you really loved, for my 06 TT 3.2 ltr VR6. What would you recommend for a new 2.9 ltr V6 that Porsche borrowed from Audi in my 21 Macan GTS? It seems to generate a lot of heat compared to my 17 Macan GTS with it’s Porsche derived 3.0 ltr V6. Is it because of the "hot-V" setup or whatever in my new one?

You've made a very useful material. I also have a question, I have the Audi a4 B8 1.8tfsi, it also eats oil. So far, I've been using 5W30 and that's probably for that. What oil you can recommend. I live in Poland and the temperatures in my country are between -20 / + 40.

I have a 2018 Audi A4 (B9 engine) - I was going to use Royal Purple (the same oil Ive used for years). What do you recommend ?

Hey, nice and crisp informative video. Please help me with my doubt, it will be great. I have audi Q3 2013 2.0 TDI Quattro (this is not PD engine but normal common rail VW diesel). My OEM oil spec is 5w30 vw507, however due to hot climate conditions in India, I need to use 5w40, so it's only available with vw505.01. is 505.01 ok to use instead of vw507?

I have bmw e46 318i n42 with 130000 milage I use castrol full synthetics.0-40 because with high mileage thicker is better.ami I correct please comment ?

You can also use VW507 in PD engines with DPF. VW507/504 are low saps oils and it is recomended for all vehicles with DPF. However, low saps oils has less engine protection, but it is better for catalytic converters, less sludge.... If you have PD without DPF, it is better to use 5W40 with VW505.01 (which is recomended by VW). For EA888 TSI petrol engines VAG recomendation is VW502/VW504.

Hi I found your video very helpful, I have recently bought at TTRS+ with 126k km in my area we have 8/12 months summer to extreme summer weather usually during autumn and spring we have 20-30 celsius and in Summer 35-45 Celsius. IS 10W60 Eneos good option??

Liqui-Moly is good oil, but I noticed the engine tends to really work at higher speeds. Switched to Castrol Edge and it gets to um, aerodynamically challenging velocity effortlessly. And doesn't struggle to stay there. Pricier but outstanding oil.

Good video. Clearly explained. For East Europe,Balkans and Russia do not use Castrol,Shell,because it is maybe 2.class quality made for East or maybe it is a copy...but,any brand will be good that has an official approval for eq 504/507 ,502/505.01 etc...there are many options: Rowe,Ravenol,Repsol,Eni,Liqui Moly,Havoline,mighty Wolf-pure players and great brand,Kroon Oil, Total Ineo...or regional smaller brands such as Mol,Ina,Optima,Prista,Lotos,Orlen,Mogul-factory oil for Škoda...half of the price than a "big brands" and for 10-15k km oil change quite good...

Hi Dude, I have A4- 2012 gasoline/ turbocharged 2.0 engine, I am using 5w40 Lexus oil, as the Castrol with same spec not available where I am living in Oman( Gulf Country) as you know here too much hot specially in summer time exceeding 45 C, any way my vehicle consuming 0.75 liter/ 500 km, there is no leakage absolutely, there is black smoke when push to pedal on high race like 4-5 RPM. car in perfect condition, always I am monitoring the oil level on dash board. Please advise. Thanks Hussam

Am I right in thinking this video is on the subject of the VW TDI engines and the right oil? If its a PD or CR engine, use the appropriate specification oil and you should have no bother. 506.01 and the 505.01 are the older specs and 507.00 is the newer and higher spec.

Excellent video! Thanks in advance! Can one advice !? I have audi a4 b6 from 2001 with 2.0 ALT petrol engine! What oil do you recommend for him? Thanks

Hi I sent this to castrol; Just sent this to Dear castrol I live in Uk London. I need help! My vehicle Audi A4 2.0 turbo tfsi special edition b7 with bul engine. It is around 120,000 milage now and twelve years old age. Oil light goes off maybe every 2-3 months so I top it up to max every time for last four years. I have thought for a long time to change oil. An independent Audi specialist mecanic told me to switch to 10w40 as a previous customer of his did that and the oil usage was reduced Oil usage dramatically. Your website recommends 5w30 which I have been using in the vehicle for the last four years castrol edge 5w30 for monthly top ups, but I’m tired of refilling it with castrol edge 5w30 every three months. I wish the oil to last longer then three months. Would 5w40 last longer? Can I switch to 10w40? If I can switch to 10w40 which castrol product do you recommend I change to? Which is better and most appropriate for my vehicle for the oil to last longer? 5w40, 10w40 and which product do you recommend I buy of yours? I would ask Audi uk but they are normally clueless about my vehicle. Also I have no engine oil leaks or vehicle exhaust smoke currently, everything appears normal and as it should be. I did find this online re point 1 but I have no plans to change anything mechanically. I look forward to your response regards

10W60 does not have the Vw502 approval. 1.8 TFSI requires Vw502 or Vw504. I have oil consumption issue. Currently using liqui moly 4200 c3 5w30. Will swithcing to Shell 0w40 (a3b4) Castrol Edge 5w40 (c3) be better or Motul Xmax 0w40 (a3b4) or Motul Xcess 5w40 (a3b4) or Mobil FS 0w40 (a3b4) ? Those are my options Shell is the most expensive option. Shell and Castrol are the safest as I will be able to get them from petrol stations so they will not be fake. Mobil and Motul's genuinity is a big question mark for me as I can not find them from petrol stations, and cant be sure about the ones from auth. sellers when we all know that even distributors sell fakes. From all of this which one would you recommend?

For some reason this video comes up in 2021 for VW 504. The info here is not what Audi owner’s manuals say for their 1.6 TFSI engines from 2015 onwards. The VW spec for petrol/gasoline turbos is VW 502 00 for fixed interval oil change and VW 504 00 for flexible//longlife oil change. Audi diesels are to use 507 00.
