  1. @toot your second picture means nothing, because it does not specify engine year. There are 1.5 TSI engines from 2019, and 1.5 TSI engines from 2022.
  2. I have specified what oils the maintenance manual book of my car specifies in the first post. I do not know if the car has Petrol Particulate Filter. Since the main fuel is Natural gas, then may be it does not have such filter? I decided that 508.00 oils are quite expensive for my shortened period of 15000km /1 year, so I will stick to 504.00/507.00 oil. What is your opinion about : Shell Helix Ultra ECT 0W-30? I would like the oil to be 0W since in the winter here it goes down minus 25 Celsius sometimes.
  3. I think they tried to steal your car, cars with keyless locking systems are much easier targets for thieves, because the key is transmitting the signal continuously. They capture the code from the key, then they use a set of transceivers to send it near the car and unlock it. This 'problem' is known for years and affects not only VAG cars but others too. Of course, they don't care about fixing it the slightest for reasons you could realize on your own.
  4. Forgot: Car is: Octavia III 5E5 1.5 TSI GTEC 96kW VW Oil specifications: https://www.oilspecifications.org/volkswagen.php https://www.oilspecifications.org/articles/vw_motor_oil_specifications_explained.php https://www.skoda-auto.com/other/oils-standards
  5. Hello, time has come to change the oil, so I naturally went to the nearest authorized dealer, and what a surprise, they offered me wrong oil! My car needs VW 504.00 / 502.00 or 508.00 oil, the dealer wants to put 502.00 / 505.00 oil. (Please bear in mind my owners manual does not state SAE viscosity index) The oil that the incompetent authorized dealer offered is this: ( https://www.shell.com/motorist/oils-lubricants/helix-for-cars/helix-fully-synthetic/shell-helix-hx8-synthetic-5w-30.html If I go on Shell's website, and put my vehicle data, Shell's oil selector recommends me this: (which is indeed much newer and better oil since it meets VWs 508.00 specification): Helix Ultra Professional AV-L 0W-20 I refuse to put the Helix 502.00 oil, because that is oil for much older engines and is much cheaper and worse than 504.00 or 508.00 oils. Now the you are probably wondering, like me: "Aren't these newer 508.00/509.00 oils that are only 0W20 only meant for the newest engines?" I don't know. So I headed to Castrol's website (the car is using Castrol Edge 5W30 LL VW504.00/507.00 oil at the moment) and Castrol recommend their newest equivalent to the above mentioned Shell Helix: their newest 508.00/509.00 oil, with the same SAE 0W20 index. In this case the exact name is: Castrol Edge 0W-20 LL IV Another alternative I found from a company that is known to make good oils is: Mobil 1 ESP X2 0W-20 (Also 508.00/509.00) But much cheaper than the Castrol or Shell oils which is giving me second thoughts. So my questions are is there anyone with the same engines who has switched to the newest VW508.00 oils from 504.00/507.00?
