On the variable regime it lists only 5w-30 504.00 and on the fixed interval regime it lists only 5w-40 502.00.
Ok, fine (VW Tiguan 2.0T for U.S. market also lists VW 502.00 5W40). However, what does that mean? Why you cannot use 0W40 VW 502.00?
Last time I checked W40 has same meaning whether it is 0 or 5.
Also this is U.S. based forum, Vw504.00 here does not mean anything due to sulfur in gas and there is no such thing as variable regime. That is only for EU, Switzerland, Norway.
It's a european and import motor oil section the last time i checked. If 0w40 was ok to use in that engine then it would be listed in the viscosity options, it isn't.
Did you not see the lists of oils that is certified by VAG? for 502.00, it includes other grades of oil.
Maybe you should complain to VW and they them that they are wrong for certification other grades as 502.00, since you obviously know more than them.
