Description

Motul SPECIFIC 504 00 507 00 5W-30 is a fully synthetic low-SAPS Specific-line oil, built around a car maker's standards. It suits Euro 4-6 petrol and diesel engines in VW, Audi, Skoda and Seat models, including LongLife service.

The oil is rated ACEA C3 and holds official VW 504.00 and VW 507.00 approvals. Motul says it also suits engines built to the group’s earlier 50x standards. It is not suitable for five- and ten-cylinder TDI diesels, which need an oil to a different standard.

Typical figures: kinematic viscosity 11.8 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 171, HTHS 3.5 mPa·s, pour point -39 °C, base number 6.8 mg KOH/g, sulphated ash 0.68 %. Available in 5 litres.

Application

VW Group cars (VW, Audi, Skoda, Seat) with Euro 4-6 petrol and diesel engines for which the manufacturer requires VW 504.00 or 507.00, including LongLife service.

Worth knowing

On its own, this oil does not extend the change interval. A car prescribed only VW 501.01, 502.00, 505.00 or 505.01 stays, according to the Motul data sheet, on a 15,000 km interval in Europe even with it; the data sheet ties the extended interval monitored by the on-board computer to the 504.00 and 507.00 standards themselves.

For R5 and V10 TDI diesels of model years 2003-2007, the document requires a 0W-30 oil approved to VW 506.01 and gives two examples: SPECIFIC 506 01 506 00 503 00 0W-30 and SPECIFIC 504 00 507 00 0W-30, which shares its name with this oil. However, the 0W-30’s own data sheet names only the first for these engines, so when in doubt, as Motul itself advises, the owner’s manual decides. Among the oils on the VW 507.00 page, the same pair of VW approvals and ash of 0.68 % are found in 8100 X-CLEAN+ 5W-30, with BMW Longlife-04, MB 229.51 and Porsche C30 approvals in addition. What each number of the 50x series means is described in the article on VW, Audi, Seat and Skoda approvals.
