Hello guys. After servicing my 1.4 I bought a liter of Castro Edge 5W40 oil to adjust the oil level if necessary. I verified that this oil complied with the VW511.00 standard, which I understood was intended for newer gasoline engines. Is there a problem using this type of oil to get the level right on my 1.4 petrol?

Thr oil used in the service was also Castrol 5w40 but i am not sure what VW Norm did it complied

thanks. Regards

Lowest PD spec oil i am aware of is VW505.01
I would prefer not to mix them myself but any oil rather than no oil is better.
 

You'll be fine. Incidentally, Audi now recommend a 0w30 oil for these engines.
