Can anyone comment on the merits of 502 and 504 for this engine? It's direct injected and some google searching shows that there are some long-term carbon build-up issues. The OCI with a 502 oil is 10k. Is there any reason to not use a 504 oil and cut the interval?
Audi 3.0T TFSI - Supercharged V6 - 502 or 504?

The 504 is a better oil and there is no longer any reason not to use it, the US now requires low sulfur fuel. The VW dealer here no longer uses 502, 504 in everything except the old air cooled engines.
It looks like sulfur is disapearing from U.S. fuel. There may be still a few "spot exceptions" granted by the EPA here and there this year. ......... We see GM using dexos2 oil in some gasoline engines here now, for example.
Lubrizol shows 504 being tougher, higher performance, compared to 502.

VW502.00 is not stringent specification at all.
Make sure oil meets MB229.5 in addition to VW 502.00.

Do you think 504 oil is good for the E10 fuel?

Its not a problem. E10 is available in Germany and no TSB about using 504, OLM remains the same.

Other than Castrol Syntec 5w40/Castrol Edge 5w40 (VW 502.00/MB 229.3), what other VW 502.00 oil isn't also MB 229.5?
