Engine Oils use approved oils only.
VW504.00 VW507.00 is backward compatible so it can be used in all previous petrol and diesel engines with older oil specification with some exemptions (not related to Skoda engines).
Official VW,SKODA List of Factory Approved Engine Oils
Replace latest at every 15,000km or 12months whatever comes first.
These are on the list and are available from all good car parts stores.
Penrite Enviro+ 5W30
(in 1L or 5L bottles - fully imported oil made overseas) is available from all good auto parts stores and for $76.00 RRP is the cheapest ($60 if you shop around)
Shell Helix Ultra Extra 5W30
(in 5L bottles) is available from Nissan dealers and Super Cheap Auto ($75/5L)
Mobil 1 ESP 5W30
tel.1800 033 863 for your local Mobil oil distributor (supplied in 20L drums only)
Castrol SLX PowerFlow Professional Formula 5W30
from the dealer – the most expensive option. 1L for top up will cost you around $30.00
Gear Oils
Unlike engine oils the different brands of transmission fluids shouldn't be mixed together and the same apply to gear oils.
For 6speed manual gearbox
Penrite Gear Oil 70 SAE 70W-75, API GL-4 (in 2.5L bottle) $45.00 RRP
Red Line MTL Gear oil 70W80 API GL4 (1US Gallon)
Diff oils
Penrite Transaxle 75 SAE 75W-90 API GL-5 (in 2.5L bottle) $29.00 RRP
Transmission Oils
Use only genuine ATF and DSG fluids.
Replace DSG fluid in 6 speed DSG transmission every 60,000km or 48 months, whatever comes first.
Power Steering fluid
Again use only approved power steering oils. Penrite makes power steering oils for all VAG cars. Most likely you will have electromechanical steering that doesn’t have the reservoir for topping up, so you will not need it.
Coolant
Use genuine VW coolant only (G12+) VW states lifetime fill, I suggest replacing it after 5 years.
NOT APPROVED by VW
Meets, Made to VW specification - that is what the oil manufacturer saying on the label and IMO it would be a mistake to use it in your late model Skoda with diesel engine and the DPF especially if there is Penrite Enviro+ 5W30 that will cost you the same money as any other not approved synthetic oil.
