Shell Helix HX7 10W-40 is indeed approved to 502/505, but I'd say that Shell Helix Ultra 5W-40 (502/505) and especially Shell Helix Ultra Extra 5W-30 (504/507) are much better suited to FSI engines.

Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

I could only find that it meets and that's not the same in my books. I wouldn't use it even if it was approved.
The Forester we bought new in 1999 had in the specs that you could use SG specs oil, but at the same time they were calling for the latest energy conserving 5W30 oil.

Rumours of GTX being between 50-85% recycled oil have been floating around for years.Originally posted by steve_666 View Post
Do you have a link to any press release or product information? Is it 504.00/507.00 compliant?
We used to use recycled oil when I was at Goodyear in the early 80s. We used to sell our old oil to the recyclers for 5c a litre (and it was full of brake fluid, diff oil & battery acid) & buy recycled back for 20c/L. It was rubbish oil but how else can you offer a lube with filter for $10? We had a recomended change interval of 3months/5000km.carandimage The place where Off-Topic is On-Topic

If it's 15w-40 then it probably isn't 504.00/507.00 & therefore doesn't suit a mkV. Maybe you should have started a new thread?Originally posted by steve_666 View PostI did a survey on it, its meant to be coming soon so i dont have a link. I should of taken a screen shot..

Oil to suit mk5 (off shelf)
5w-40 valvoline synpower
Have found it to go through less oil than running on 5w-30 as viscotity is higherComment

Thanks for the quick reply. I use penrite enviro+ 5w30 (which is approved for VW 504.00 / 507.00) for a Skoda TSI so that should work for the golf TDI too. Saves me buying different grades of oil.Originally posted by brad View PostComment
