Qualities of engine oils

Year-round oil for standard VW 501 01 and 505 00 are relatively inexpensive oils with following qualities:

- Year-round use in temperate zones;
- Excellent detergent properties;
- Good lubricity at all temperatures and engine loads;
- High stability of the initial properties for a long time.

Multigrade oils with improved anti-friction properties of the standard VW 500 00 are also additional advantages:

- Year-round use for almost every possible outdoor temperatures;
- Minor loss of engine power due to friction;
- Facilitating cold start - also at very low temperatures.

Seasonal oil due to their inherent specific viscosity-temperature properties generally can not be used all year round. Therefore, these oils should only be used in extreme climates.

When using multigrade oils grade SAE 5W-30 is necessary to avoid prolonged operation at high engine speed and a constant high load on the engine. These restrictions do not apply to multigrade oils with improved anti-friction properties.

Do not add any additives that reduce friction loss, engine lubricants.
