ALL TEMPERATURES SAE 5W-30 LONGLIFE VW504.00
ALL TEMPERATURES SAE 5W-30 5W-40 VW502.00
ALL TEMPERATURES SAE 10W-40 VW502.00
Not all VAG engines list only VW502.00 without reference to viscosity. VAG have it fine, it's you that has it wrong.
Put 5w-30 VW502.00 in your Audi R8 and you'll be in trouble.
LOL, Audi R8 comes with factory fill 0W30.
You literally have no idea what you talking about!. VW502.00 has requirement of HTHS 3.5 NOT grade requirement. SInce HTHS of >3.5cp can only be achieved by XW30/40 that is what meets that spec.
Your argument is:
If you put Castrol 0W30 with HTHS of 3.58 in R8 it will explode. If you put Mobil 1 0W40 with HTHS of 3.6 it will be fine or Pennzoil Platinum 5W40 with HTHS of 3.6cp.
So much nonsense on one page.
I'm not so familiar with VW Audi but Mercedes official document says that within their approvals, certain engines can only use xw40 and not an approved xw30.
