Is VW spec 503.01 turbo specific oil?

[brianpavlovic]

Should I be using oil in my 1.8T that has this VW spec (503.01) in my 05 GLI?

Volkswagen has designated 58 engine oils as conforming to VW standard 503.00 for petrol engines and VW standard 506.00 for diesel engines and as qualifying for extended service intervals.

A further 22 oils are approved to VW standard 503.01 for turbo petrol engines.

Mobil 1 0W-40 meets that spec.
