Hi all
Just after a bit of clarification here with regards to which spec oil to use as a google search just seems to bring up debates and no definite answer.

Car is Audi a4 1.9 tdi pd 115 bhp 2007 On a 57 plate non DPF

Now I believe the original spec was 505.01 5w40 and has now been replaced with 504.00 or 507.00 but debates sugest you can only use 507.00 on models above 2009 and with DPF??

Does any one have a straight answer on whats the best spec to use for this vehicle please

Cheers
Nigel

Hi thanks for the replies

The only reason for really starting this,is because at work we have a oil blender as a supplier,so I asked them for a quote on the 505.01 and the reply I got was that that spec is obsolete now and has been superseded by 504/507 which googled sort of led me into all the disputes regarding wot u can or can't use.

So wot are the oils out there today that meet the spec 505.01 are they 507.00 ???
