re "As long as I can get 506.01 I will keep using it. R5 engine was tested with that oil and in long life ser vice interval some people done more than 500,000km in Europe. I don't know about 507.00"

I have done 540,000kms in my T4 TDi running basic old Castrol RX (changed every 10,000kms) and its still going well, tho recently retired to the back yard. It has a fairly easy life as a Pilot/Escort vehicle tho.

Can't get it so I have some Fuchs for the next service and after that I am getting VW branded stuff that is cheaper than the Fuchs and the Liquimoly.
