    I'd be extremely surprised if it isn't. Which standard does it meet? Look for something along the lines of VW 5xx.xx/5xx.xx

    For sure it is not VW approved for VW504.00 VW507.00

    and as I said I wouldn't use Castrol engine oils (unless I have to), because they leave varnish/resin deposits in the engine, clearly visible as yellow/brown deposit on engine internal parts, even on the dipstick.
