Cheap, non-approved oil that meets 507 spec - Logic & facts

[PlasticMac]

The eBay seller, "Carousel Car Parts LTD. Artiom Samoilov" says it's approved.
The manufacturers, F

Mac- look at Fanaro's website - it clearly says the oil in question (6719) is Volkswagen approved.

I see what you mean. But I don't read it that way.
Probably just me being suspicious why would you sell a product that really had VW approval that cheaply.

About 1.4 TDI oil (BHC engine) - I am currently running on Valvoline All Season 5w40 (meets VW 505.01).

Can I use oil with newer VW specs (VW 507.00) with 5W30 grade ? I change my oil every 10000 km or 1 year.

Absolutely you can, in fact it's advisable to do so and the 5w30 507 spec you mention is perfect and in fact the correct oil to use

Read post 14, follow the link to the specification comparison chart and make your own mind up.

Nice one, that’s a great price especially in these high-inflation times - I don’t need any but stocked up another barrel anyway - thanks Nod!

Hi everyone, on my 3 vehicles I put Liqui Moly Toptec 4100 5w40 My car is a Polo 9n 1.4tdi 75 BNM engine, a Lupo 1.4tdi 75 amf engine, and a Golf mk4 tdi130 asv engine and frankly the engine purrs like a cat

I use Ravenol VMO 5-40 for my PDs, also is suitable for BMW M47 without DPF. 20L bag in my store is €166, probably cheaper in EU or UK.
It has Viscosity Index of 171

Just a quick note to say that Mannol 20L 507 spec is on ebay right now with 15% discount meaning its just over £40 inc delivery.

I decided to go for it given I'm doing annual changes.

I think Mannol 7908 might also be good for our TDI's. VW505.01 5W/30 and currently only £41.64 for 20L.

To be honest I just went for the 507 spec primarily. The discount code is sale15 but it should show up before the buy

That's an old discount I think George. It's listed around 47 before the current 15% discount code making it just over £40 which is pretty cheap imo

 

[Clackers]

Thanks for this thread, I've just bought some for my transporter, different oil, but same company with the same 15% discount code...came in at £32 instead of £60 that was the cheapest I could find anywhere else!!!!

505 spec is outclassed by the newer 507 spec in every way. As it’s also very slight on cheaper to go with 507 it’s a no-brainer.

See the Librizol spec comparison tool referenced earlier in this thread HERE.
