Frequently asked questions

Can I use this instead of VW 504.00/507.00 oil?
No. The 508.00/509.00 standard is a separate, thinner long-life specification; use only the grade your engine requires.

Is it safe for engines with a particulate filter?
Yes. Its low-SAPS, ACEA C5 formulation is designed to protect both petrol and diesel exhaust aftertreatment systems.

Does it suit both petrol and diesel cars?
