Evening all knowing source of information that is the SXOC.
Can anyone assist me with some actual knowledge regarding oil for my r5 touareg....
The VW forums I have read seem to revolve around people not wanting to deviate from the owners manual, but other websites say it's ok...
The correct oil for my car is apparently vw506.1spec... which is hideously expensive and seemingly impossible to obtain on any trade account I can use for under £50 a can "special order"
But some websites (including the Opie oils) say that the vw507 spec can be used...
Now there is a lot of literature on line to show that the 507 out performed the 506.1 in every way, yet there is a good 50% of sites which state DO NOT USE in the r5 and v10 tdi touareg. Specifically naming that car... but they all seem to be 5+ yrs old posts.
Has the spec had a update so it can be used? Am I just being paranoid, after all my s14 was thrashed non stop on Halfords green bottle for 6yrs with no I'll effects.
It's a genuinely nice motor in outstanding Nick tho, and I would like to keep it that way.
