Engine oil: capacities and specifica‐
tions up to model year ►2020
A new VW standard for engine oil - 508 00/509 00 - has been
introduced for most Volkswagen engines. This is distinguished
by reduced fuel consumption and CO emissions.

The main facts are the following:
♦ VW 508 00/509 00 is a combined product that meets the
petrol specification as VW 508 00 and the diesel specifica‐
tion as VW 509 00.
♦ Volkswagen recommends not using the new specifications
for older engine generations. The recommended specifica‐
tions are allocated to the engines in this chapter.
♦ Engines with particulate filter (petrol and diesel) can also be
filled with oil standard VW 504 00/507 00 when serviced.
However, the caveat could be elevated fuel consumption
and CO emissions.

♦ Engines without particulate filter can also be filled with oil
standard VW 502 00/505 01 when serviced. However, the
caveat could be elevated fuel consumption and CO emis‐
2
sions.
♦ The new oil is miscible.
♦ If oil with VW engine oil standard 508 00/509 00 is used in
engines that are not recommended for this, engine damage
could ensue.
♦ As of model year 2018, engines that are not recommended
to be used with the new oil will have a notice (lock carrier/en‐
gine compartment) from which the oil standard to be used
can be gleaned.
