Hello!
I'm about to do a service on our 2002 TDi 130 and want to make sure I get the correct oil. It's on time and distance service intervals so am I correct in saying that I need VW505.01 spec oil?
Is there any reason why I should/shouldn't use VW506.01 or VW507 instead?
Thanks, Rich.

I use Quantum PD Diesel Oil Sae 5w-40 (Synthetic Based Engine Oil). VW 505.01/505.00 Approved

Oil and Filter changed every 8 to 10k miles. Shop around as is top price at VAG

(If alloy sump only tighten sump plug to 30 newton metres.)

I use Millers XFE-PD Sae 5-40 which is approved by VAG and costs £20 locally.It gets changed with filter every year which is only around 7K miles as the car is used mainly as a caravan tug.

Best,
