Guest reader Posted January 25, 2004 Report Posted January 25, 2004 I have been reading the postings on oil for the tdi`s and still are not certian if i can use the 506.01 oil on my 2003 115 bhp TDI ghia. On one post i read it would make the enging quieter. Could some one put me straight on this. Thank You Richard Quote
seatkid Posted January 25, 2004 Report Posted January 25, 2004 Yes, you can use it. Its the best spec possible for your engine. The oil will make no difference to the noise.The engine will sound quieter only because of the wife muttering about how expensive it was! Quote
gazza007 Posted January 25, 2004 Report Posted January 25, 2004 It's a long life oil for extended service intervals 30000 Km Quote
seatkid Posted January 25, 2004 Report Posted January 25, 2004 It's a long life oil for extended service intervals 30000 Km 506.01 Oil - For Diesels - Drain intervals up to 50000km (31000 miles)and only in conjunction with extended life oil filter and "WIV" VW's (but not Ford) variable interval service regime (not normal in UK) - Service indicator says when oil change is due which could be less than 10,000 miles depending on the way you drive etc. etc. Quote
Guest reader Posted January 25, 2004 Report Posted January 25, 2004 Thank you for the info could you tell me WIV is please. richard Quote
seatkid Posted January 25, 2004 Report Posted January 25, 2004 When you buy a new VW you can opt to have "WIV" service regime (German acronym - Wartungsintervallverl Quote
