New grade of oil 508 509

[jasiano]

I bet the dealer has the same big oil container for all models and uses it across the range.

One of the dealers I called in Perth said this exact thing - i.e. 'we just use the same 5w-30 504/507 LL oil for everything'. Made me laugh because if anything happened to your car they would probably use that same line as an excuse not to fix anything because the owner didn't check properly what oil was used.

The new oil differs in that it is an 0W- 30 which is thinner and starts easier especially in cold weather but does buggar all else.

It was available in 2019 and I was surprised to see mine still specified the older oil. However as I had 15 L of it at half price I am still using it rather than pay the workshop inflated charge.
About 9 years ago I bought some at parts and was $93 for 5L At the previous service same place charged me $118 for FOUR Litres on service invoice.. Have supplied my own oil ever since
