Product Information

As for VW testing oil? Do not forget that VW is still paying oil debacle with 1.8T when they recommended "quality" oil (that was first attempt to get Toyota/Honda customers so they did not want to burden buyers with more complex oil requirements). I bet someone was there who said: VW tested that oil.

Mobil 1 ESP X2 0W-20 motor oil is recommended for the new high-performance gasoline and diesel engines in emerging European vehicles that require SAE 0W-20 viscosity grades. Last tme VW did this short/long drain interval mambo-jumbo they had debacle with unit-injector camshafts on markets with long drain intervals.VW tweaked that engine for Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4 crowd, not VW crowd. They increased warranty since they want customers. They are being aggressive going after Toyota, Honda buyers, neglecting traditional VW customers. Problem is, Toyota/Honda customers are not as forgiving as VW traditional customers who are willing to live with some VW strings attached to get good driving dynamics for that class. Mobil 1™ ESP X2 0W-20 advanced full synthetic motor oil is specifically designed to provide outstanding engine cleanliness, wear protection, strong durability and advanced fuel economy to keep your engine running like new. Recommended for high-performance engines The reality here is that VW 508.00 isn't as common as other VAG-approved grades and is therefore harder to find at a cheap price. As also mentioned, Quantum (the oil your Skoda dealership uses) doesn't seem to offer 508 yet either, so your choices are limited to VW own-branded, or the premium regular brands, Castrol etc.

Putting the 508 00 oil in an older engine is probably more of a concern, but if you're in warranty and want to preserve it the 508 00 oil is what is required and they can tell the difference. If the oil is for top-ups then I'd avoid oil that is close, or has passed its expiry date. If you're looking to do a DIY oil change and using all of it immediately I'd have no qualms using oil only a few months past the expiry date. You'll see from the other thread I linked to earlier that I too was unaware of the expiry dates on oil. Every day is a school day. But, VW504.00/507.00 is still OK. Meaning, we designed those engines some times ago around heavier oils, and if you really insist you can use HTHS 3.5 or higher (actually maybe you should).

Tolerances in that engine are exactly the same as in my Tiguan. Nothing changed from that stand point. Mobil 1 ESP X2 0W-20 motor oil is our latest technology combining durability and protection with a low-viscosity, low-friction motor oil designed in cooperation with key European Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs).* It has been expertly engineered to help prolong the life and maintain the efficiency of emission systems in new emerging diesel and gasoline-powered European vehicles that require SAE 0W-20 viscosity grades. Always consult the owner’s manual of the vehicle for the manufacturer’s recommended viscosity grade and specifications. The dealer will see a difference if they look. And this isn't the only mis-application tracer that is in the oil.

Volkswagen introduced its own specifications in mid '90s. Since then this classification system is the starting point for selecting the technically suitable products for all vehicles manufactured by the VW group (Volkswagen, Audi, Seat, Skoda). Dear Mr silver1011, unbeknown to you or anyone else here, I have a condition that causes me to inhabit a slightly different world and to see things through different eyes than you do. So whilst I rarely set out to be rude or abrupt, what I wrote, that you describe as a tad harsh, is normal for me.By the way, Mobil1 for Germany recommends M1 5W30 ESP VW504.00/507.00 oil for fixed intervals on versions with 137kw and 167kw. For long drain intervals it is recommended 0W20. That means engineering wise, HTHS of 3.5 or higher is perfectly fine. A tad harsh, especially given that you got the answer to your original question after the first reply. You pays your money and takes your chance. I don’t disagree that a 504 would be just fine...or so I think. However this is a new version of the 2.0t. With vw now having a much longer warranty, I’d guess this has been tested with a 0w20, as vw can’t have a rash of claims. Note this engine is also used in Audi vehicles. The oil itself is used in the s4 from what I heard.
