Hi ,

My car is currently on a time/distance service routine and the manual states I can use VW505 01 or VW507. I see there are quite a few threads already on oils but I am trying to determine what the VW oils standard is. I am going to carry out my own oil change in the near future. I see that Fuchs TITAN GT1 LONGLIFE III 5W-30 is VW507 approved. Fuchs has a SAE 5W-30 viscosity, therefore does that imply I can use any oil as long as it is SAE 5W-30 viscosity?

Also what is the difference between VW505 01 and VW507? I think VW507 is for long life service and VW505 01 is for time/distance, is this correct?

Thanks for any help offered.
