What oil do you use for a Volkswagen?

Recommended Oil Types for 2019 Volkswagen Vehicles

Model	Engine Oil Specification	Viscosity Grade
2019 Volkswagen Arteon	VW 502 00 VW 504 00	SAE 0W-30 SAE 5W-30.
2019 Volkswagen Atlas	VW 502 00. If not available, 504 00 may be used.	SAE 0W-30
2019 Volkswagen Beetle	VW 508 00	SAE 0W-20
2019 Volkswagen Golf	VW 508 00	SAE 0W-20

What does 5w40 mean?

5w40 motor oil has a winter viscosity grade of five, meaning it’s less viscous at very low temperatures, compared to, say, 10w40. It has a hot viscosity grade of 40, which means it is just as viscous as 10w40 at high temperatures but less viscous than oils such as 15w50.

What is the difference between 5w40 and 5w30?

5w30 is engine oil that has lower viscosity 5 and higher viscosity 30. 5w40 is engine oil that indicates the weight and viscosity of the engine. 5w30 has lower viscosity hence it is suitable to use in hot or lower temperatures. 5w40 has higher viscosity hence it is not suitable at all temperatures.

Can I use 5w30 instead of 5w40 VW?

As long as the oil you use is VW 502 certified, a 5W-30, 0W-30, 5W-40 or 0W-40 will work just fine.

Do Volkswagen need special oil?

Volkswagen engines need synthetic oil to function properly.

Which oil is thicker 5w40 or 5w30?

5w40 oil is not thicker has it has a higher viscosity. 5w30 has lower viscosity hence it is suitable to use in hot or lower temperatures. 5w40 has higher viscosity hence it is not suitable at all temperatures.

Is 5W-40 oil good for hot weather?

5W40 is better for starting your engine at low temperatures as it flows more easily at these temperatures. When the engine is running and hot, 5W40 and 10W40 have high viscosities and are equally effective in protecting against engine wear.

What’s the VW 500 00 oil specification?

The VW 500 00 oil specification is an old and no longer relevant oil specification for VW engine applications. The VW 500 00 oil specification has been replaced by the new VW 502 00 / 505 00 oil specifications.

What are the different types of German VW engine oil specs?

What’s the VW 506 01 engine oil type?

The VW 506 01 oil spec was specifically designed for VW TDI diesel engines equipped with Pumpe Duse TDI injection systems requiring extended service interval engine oil (15,000-30,000 miles or every two years. Whichever occurs first.). This extended service interval engine oil was also known by VW as a Longlife II engine oil.

What’s the VW 507 00 oil change interval?

The VW 507 00 is designed for extended service intervals. The factory recommended oil change interval for all engines in America requiring the VW 507 00 engine oil quality specification have a 10,000 mile oil change interval or once a year service. Whichever occurs first.
