The oil id: The following written on the bottle;
Castorl EDGE PROFESSIONAL Longlife III 5W-30. SAE 5W-30; ACEA C3; VW 504 00/ 507 00; Porsche C30
Can some-one confirm me if this is the correct oil to use in my Audi car?

Hi
507.00
I could see the VW 507 00 mentioned on the bottle. So that is the correct oil and safe to use in my Audi A4 SE TDI Diesel 2li 143 6SP.
I am very catious after my friend took his BMW [Petrol engine] to a garage that put in the wrong oil and his engine fried! [That is waht he told me].
I did check the Audi book that says something along the line of VW 507 00 for diesel....... but then I am not a geek with modern cars and it's engines and oils!!
Regards

Castrol Edge but with a VAG label - Audi/VW Quantum LONGLIFE 3 Oil - 5w/30 - 5 Litres | eBay (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Audi-VW-Quantum-LONGLIFE-3-Oil-5w-30-5-Litres-/261066122885?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3cc8c0e685)
VW 507 00 is what you want.
Castrol EDGE 5W-30 FST is a cheaper alternative if you don't already have the oil.
Edit - I type slow, Chris wins :p

And he will give you the below ;) OP needs 507.00 as a must as the car has a DPF fitted.

Btw keep your car on a 10k or 1 year oil change interval - far better and so have many others said too. The oil I posted will so both Fixed and LL servicing.

It has no real official meaning but I refer to it as Volkswagen Audi Group but I've seen others refer to it as Volkswagen AG.
