Description

Motul SPECIFIC 504 00 507 00 0W-30 is a fully synthetic, mid-SAPS engine oil from the Specific line. It is intended for VW, Audi, Skoda and Seat petrol and diesel engines, including those on extended (LongLife) service intervals.

The oil is rated ACEA C3 and holds official VW 504.00, VW 507.00 and Porsche C30 approvals. Motul states it is backward compatible with the group's earlier petrol and diesel standards. It is unsuitable for 2003-2007 model-year R5 and V10 TDI diesels, which need a separate group standard.

Typical figures: kinematic viscosity 12.1 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 191, HTHS 3.5 mPa·s, pour point -51 °C, base number 8.2 mg KOH/g, sulphated ash 0.78 %. Available in 1 litre.

Application

VW, Audi, Skoda and Seat petrol and diesel engines where the manufacturer requires VW 504.00 or VW 507.00, including extended (LongLife) service intervals.

Worth knowing

The compatibility with earlier VW standards stated in the data sheet does not extend the change interval: a car specified only for VW 501.01, 502.00, 505.00 or 505.01 stays on a fixed 15,000 km in Europe, even with this oil in the engine. The article on VW Group approvals briefly explains each of these standards. There is also an exception to the compatibility itself: for R5 and V10 TDI diesels of model years 2003-2007, Motul prescribes only a 0W-30 oil with VW 506.01, and names SPECIFIC 506 01 506 00 503 00 0W-30 for them.

The same 0W-30 grade does not make the oils alike: this one has an HTHS of 3.5 mPa·s and 12.1 mm²/s at 100 °C, while SPECIFIC 2312 and LL-12 FE, like the 506 01 mentioned above, have an HTHS of 3 to 3.1 mPa·s and a viscosity of 9.7 to 10.2 mm²/s. Much closer is 8100 X-CLEAN+ EFE 0W-30 from another line: the same ACEA C3, VW 504.00, VW 507.00 and Porsche C30, with ash of 0.77 % against 0.78 %. It also has BMW Longlife-04, BMW Longlife-19 FE and MB 229.52, which this oil’s entry lacks.
