Diesel oil in a 147tsi at 45k dealer service!?

[mcole439]

Hi all, had my 147tsi 45k service at a Skoda dealer on Saturday and noticed this evening on the service report oil is described as 507 TDI L/life. Is this the mother of all stuff ups or is there a logical explanation and nothing for me to worry about? Regardless ill be calling them tomorrow for their version...

VW 504.00/507.00 is a dual-rated lubricant, designed to be used in both petrol and diesel engines.

Most VW oil standards tend to be dual-rated, including 502.00/505.00, 503.00/506.00, and so on.

Note that VW will not approve or release a lubricant that only passes either the petrol (504.00) or diesel (507.00) criteria. EDIT - hence you will never find a lubricant on the market that only meets either spec.

It'd be the correct oil.

It's just that the coding in their parts inventory, and how it corelates to the invoicing isn't very clear.

Thanks guys! Sounds like all is ok.

first time i saw that word diesel on the oil, I also freaked...

It is quite correct though...

If anything, diesel spec 507 is a higher purity, as it must have less ash to keep the DPF happy, and higher sheer properties for the higher compression and pressure parts.
