I can't find the thread that discussed oil and did not write it down.
Parts guy gave me 505.00 Castrol Edge E today (5-40) and as usual I cross checked my reserve container (Castrol SLX 5-30)
Keep in mind this is once a year and you look at the string of number and the mind twists. Anyway it did not match, I got the book and confirmed the 505-01.
So a couple items, did they not supersede that with 507 or some such?
And can you mix the old Castrol SLX with the new (totally synthetic finally ?) oil.
I did get the right spec at 505-01 which is again a 5-30 though its not the weight its the additive unless someone has newer knowledge.
I also put the 505-01 right by the filler cap on the intercooler for quicker reference as I expect this to come up again when the next parts guy comes on (dealer sold, new parts guy and he does have the note by his desk and stood corrected and apologized, I kind of beat it into him how important it was and not just a viscosity change (now) or so I think) .
And if there is a supersede does it mxi with the current Castrol Edge?
Not interested in other oils as those cannot be found up here. VW dealer or nothing and its Castrol.
Worth a sticky? I think but .....
