For example:
VW-500 00 is "energy conserving" synthetic oil
VW-501 01 seems to be the same as API- SF/SG multigrade oil
VW-505 00
VW 502.00
For examle, Amsoil 5W-30 fulfills the requirements for VW 500.00, 501.01, and 505.00, while Amsoil 0W-30 fulfills VW 505.00 and 501.00, and Amsoil 10W-40 and 20W-50 fulfill VW 501.01 and 505 00.
So, what EXACTLY do these specs mean?
