Had trouble finding out from dealer what oil to top up with, vague answers! Said on car sticker SLX longlife II oil, but couldn't find it at Halfords so contacted Castrol website. Thought following info might be helpful if anyone is having same problem.
Q. Which is the replacement for the SLX Longlife II oil?
A. This is the EDGE 5W-30 – the Longlife II oil was a 0W-30 viscosity to 503 00 / 506 00 / 506 01 specification – you’ll notice that as well as the new viscosity the specification on the EDGE 5W-30 is VW 504 00 / 507 00 – this is the latest VW specification for the VW Longlife oil.
The EDGE 5W-30 is suitable for all Audi vehicles on both variable and fixed servicing and VW cars on variable servicing with the exception of - VW R5 and V10 TDi engines (Touareg) and VW Commercial vehicles without fitted DPF (diesel particulate filters) – these must use the 506 01 specification oil (SLX Longlife II) – contact your VW/Audi dealer for this product.
VW cars fitted with PD diesel engines on fixed servicing (VW 505 01) must use the EDGE Turbo Diesel 5W-40.
Q. How do you tell if a VW is fixed or variable servicing?
A. On the vehicle data carrier plate of the car will be the letters “QG1” or “QG0/2” – the QG1 refers to the engines on variable or “Longlife” servicing and these cars will use the EDGE 5W-30 The letters QG0/2 indicate fixed servicing and these cars will use the EDGE 0W-30.
PD (Pumpe Duese) diesel engines on fixed servicing will use the EDGE 5W-40 (505.01 specification)
Most recent VW and Audi cars (from 2000 onwards) are on the variable servicing scheduleQ. How do you tell if a VW is fixed or variable servicing?
