Yes.
But given the short service intervals in your country (5000 mi. = 7500 km), perhaps it won't matter what you use.

But still, I would only use 504/507 if VW says you can use it in your country. And I definitely wouldn't bother if it's priced any higher or uncommon.

3rd service and 3rd time Camberwell VW (Bayford) have 5W-40 oil on the receipt :confused:

Looks like they're up to their old tricks again.

Ask if you can visually verify what oil they're using (if you can be bothered to check). Hopefully it's just a clerical error this time 'round (maybe).

I asked at Bayfords recently & was told they use Shell Helix (ultra extra 5W30?). Will have a look at my old receipts tonight...

Yeah, my receipts too state 5W40... Doesn't say what brand, tho.
