Hi there

Anyone can tell what engine oil for superb 2019 facelift 31k miles on the clock 

2.0 TSI 190 DSG?

Many thanks 

 

 

 

 

 

Welcome.

 

The car left the Factory with VW508 00 / 509 00, so 9w 20 FS IV.

That is their recommended oil.

?

What was used at the last service, that or VW504 00 / 507 00 which could be 5w 30 FS III or maybe 0w 2- FS III ? 

thanks toot

i also do some research and what i found is 0w20 or 0w40

what you think about this one ?

it is vw 508 00

Personally i would get VW 504 00 / 507 00  and forget the stuff VW Group went to for the WLTP. 

Open the bonnet and see what the sticker says located on the flat area just above the grille and use that oil.

 

Why risk the possibility of putting in an oil not specified by the manufacturer.

 

Mine may be different as I have the newer EVO engine (and its diesel) and the sticker on mine says 0w-20 so that's what it's getting if/when it needs topping up.

 

No idea if the petrol models have an updated engine but certainly the VW petrol models do so I suspect your Superb may be the same.

Thanks everyone for all helpful infos,I choose Miller's oil 0w20 VW

Hope this will be ok

 

 

I don't know if that's the correct oil or not for your model as there's not enough info about which actual model yours is but Millers are good oils and you can contact them and actually talk to their people on the phone for information.  Or use their "Which Oil? – Oil Checker" (whilst confirming info). - https://www.millersoils.co.uk/which-oil/

 

Plus for those that might care about such things (or even object) it's a UK oil blender company, HQ at Brighouse, West Yorkshire and at Cumbernauld for Scotland. - https://www.millersoils.co.uk/

See if putting in your exact model makes any difference. (ETA: is your engine a DKZA)

 

In my experience most databases have errors and omissions and companies compile, combine and buy in databases with errors and omissions, the likes of eBay sellers just copy databases so the same e&o proliferate.  Some (many?) can start with the car and part manufacturers - obviously I'd never suggest this with VW !! 🙃 

 

Millers have on their "Which Oil? – Oil Checker" the following. - 

"Although every care is taken to ensure accuracy and completeness in compiling these data, no liability, other than that which may not be excluded by law, can be accepted for damage or loss caused by any errors or omissions in the information given."

 

It'd help with earlier models if VW specified a multigrade weight as well as their spec number, they seem to change their minds about things for their engines and gearboxes with time and progress(?) (or to try to sort things perhaps).

ETA:

You should also cross reference any info you get with a couple of other reliable sources (so not me or general pub-internet).  See what Opie Oils brings up from your car reg as the model (VIN, engine).  - https://www.opieoils.co.uk/

 

Still shows same oil,so it's ok believe after using my car details 

Cross check the service fill capacity, which can depend on method and thoroughness, but if it's 5.7 litre then obviously you're going to need more than a 5 litre bottle.  Better to initially underfill and then do top ups to correct level before using the car and check again after first use, usual engine oil and filter change checks.

 

If you can remember to look for the oil well in advance of need you can sometimes get good prices on the oil as sellers clear stocks for various reasons.  I've used all sorts of different sellers over the years (for Millers for last x-years) and as an example got the Millers gearbox oil for my wife's Fabia at half the usual price from Demon Tweaks, who are often very expensive with the items they stock, no explanation so whether it was a pricing / catalogue error I don't know but it wasn't old stock at all.

    

Yes I bought 6 liters, thanks for the advice

Maybe I buy right now another 6 liters..😉😉

I removed the 0w20 from mine and replaced it with 5w30 at the first service.

I'll wait for someone like toot to come along but I thought these modern spec engines wanted the 0w20 oil, though I'm not sure about any car newer than 2015 (1974 really).  I saw in USA 0W16 GSF(?) 6(?) requirements for some engines and IIRC(?) earlier engines running better on the thinner oils, better against oil dilution that some were suffering from, that's if IIRC (always suspect).

 

Oil light has just come on on my car - done about 13,500 miles.

Slightly confused as the oil label in the engine bay says it needs VW 507 00 but 0W 30. I thought that VW 507 00 was 5W 30?

Probably being stupid but if someone could set me right I would be glad.

My car is a 2.0 TDI 200 DSG 4x4.

50700 can be either 0W30 or 5W30.

If you create a login for erWin Skoda you can view pdf lists of approved oils in all the various VW group oil classifications. (Link on homepage, lower right)

 

50400/50700 list contains many 0W30 oils as well as 5W30.
