You cannot go wrong with Quantum Longlife III 5W30 which is VW 504.00 & VW 507.00 specification.




And 500.00 and 504.00 comparison

I change oil & filter as soon as the natural transparent oil colour starts to darken.
On my car it usually happens after about 4000 miles and in about half a year after previous oil change.

Couldn't agree more ... I am very fussy and if its not golden in color when wiped on a white cloth then i change it and the filter..

My Oil is always Golden and clear and generally lasts about 8k miles before it starts to turn


Oh and I only use Quantum Long Life 3
