What are the advantages of original VW engine oils?

Genuine VW engine oils provide optimum protection and maximum performance for your VW engine. They are high-quality synthetic oils that are specifically designed to meet the specific requirements of the VW engine. The engine oil protects against wear by providing excellent lubricity, ensuring that the engine operates efficiently. In addition, the VW engine oil has a lower oil film friction coefficient, which reduces CO2 emissions. It also contains additives that help protect surrounding engine components from corrosion as well. Another great advantage of VW engine oil is its excellent cold-starting ability. It can maintain pressure in the engine, resulting in a faster and more efficient cold start time. VW engine oils have also shown better results than conventional mineral oil when dealing with lower as well as high temperatures.

This means that you can safely operate your vehicle under various conditions and your vehicle is always optimally lubricated. A genuine VW engine oil delivers everything you expect from a high-quality engine oil:

Protection against wear and corrosion
Optimized lubricity
More efficient performance of the engine under a wide range of conditions
Reduction of exhaust emissions during vehicle operation
Improved cold start capability
Fuel-saving and emission-reducing

With these premium oils, you can be sure that your Volkswagen will stay in top shape - so it can run quietly and function smoothly!

What do VW oil approvals like VW 504 00 and VW 507 00 mean and which ones are still available?

There are standardized approvals for engine oils, such as the ACEA classes. Manufacturers such as VW tighten these approvals for their vehicles. They conduct their own tests to ensure that the respective engine oil meets their requirements. Oils that meet these requirements receive a VW oil approval. These are, for example, VW 504 00 or VW 507 00.

VW continues to rely on longlife oils in the latest generation of their engine oils. The latest engine oils are divided into 3 categories and apply to the specified VW oil approvals:

Engine oil designation	VW oil approval	Features
Longlife III FE	VW 504 00 VW507 00	Longlife III engine oil is particularly suitable for gasoline engines and diesel vehicles with diesel particulate filters. It causes less friction. This results in less wear, longer engine life and thus fuel savings. It is suitable for extended change intervals as it has better long-term stability, contains reduced ash content and has an SAE grade of 0W30. The added additives keep the engine clean and prevent oil sludge formation No further additives are therefore necessary The engine oil is backward compatible and can also be used by older vehicles

It protects the engine by reducing ash content and prevents oil sludge formation. The oil has an SAE class of 0W20 and can thus provide the engine with the best possible care even at low temperatures. Is very suitable for short distance drivers, because the engine oil provides reduced resistance, which also provides less friction.
Special D and Special G	VW 502 00 VW 505 00 VW 505 01	These engine oils are special fuel-efficient engine oils for engines without diesel particulate filters. Special D is for diesel engines. Special G is for gasoline engines These VW oils are thermally strong and require less pumping work, thus protecting the engine. Due to lower friction, they ensure the best engine performance even under severe conditions and at almost all speeds

The Longlife III with VW oil releases VW 504 00 and VW 507 00 is the engine oil that can be used by most VW vehicles. Even if older vehicles can not use an extended maintenance interval, the VW engine oil Longlife III but allows a more efficient protection of the engine and all associated components. Thus, the life of the engine increases and it can provide full performance for a long time. In addition to fuel savings, CO2 emissions are also reduced.

What to consider when buying VW engine oil?

To buy original VW engine oil, in addition to the VW oil release still the information on the SAE class and the required amount of VW engine oil are relevant. Most vehicles that have the VW oil releases of VW 500 00 - VW 506 01, can fall back on the new VW oil releases VW 504 00 and VW 507 00. For those vehicles that are exempt, there is a corresponding note in the service booklet.
The recommendation for the SAE class is also given there. This specifies the temperature range in which the engine oil is free-flowing. In the example of 0W30, this means the temperature range from -35 °C to +30 °C. This information is also usually found on the oil label on the filler neck of the engine oil.
The last criterion to be determined is the quantity required. This information can also be found in the service booklet.
