Replying to: nicole83 (Oct 25, 2009 8:43 am) Simply look for "VW 502.00" on the bottle of oil. If it does not say it... look for another oil. BTW: Be aware that there are superceded VW-specs that may meet "VW 502.00" . For example "VW 505.00" meets "VW 502.00" spec ... but you will not find "VW 505.00" oil in WallyMart. Perhaps it comes as a surprise to some folks... but European vehicles commonly specify unique oil which may not be readdly available in American auto-stores. I have been ordering my oil from TDI parts website for many years.
