PERFORMANCES
APPROVALS Volkswagen 504 00 / 507 00
* Engines compliant with EURO IV emission regulation are fitted with sensitive systems for exhaust gas after treatment :
- Sulphur and Phosphorus inhibit catalytic convertors operation and can damage catalytic components : inefficient exhaust gas treatment.
- Sulphated Ashes clog diesel particulate filters : shorter regenerating cycle, higher fuel consumption and engine power loss.
- Volkswagen developed VW 504 00 507 00 standard for lubricants with low Sulphur, Phosphorus and Sulphated Ashes content, compatible with after treatment systems. Those oils allow reaching extended drain intervals managed by computer on board.
RECOMMENDATION
- Drain interval : refer to manufacturers’ recommendations and tune to your own use.
- Do not mix with lubricants not VW 504 00 507 00 compliant.
