Ravenol RUP 5W-40 had VW 502 00 and 505 01 approvals before and now comes with VW 511 00.
I'd happily run REP 5W-30 in the GTI exclusively as well, but as REP doesn't come with VW approvals
and I do every second change at the dealer, who allows me to provide the oil, I need something that
comes with an actual VW approval (VW 502 00 or 504 00). So far I'm going for Ravenol VMP with VW
504 00, as it's most similar to REP, but it lacks the Tungsten-based FM package (probably Vanderbilt
W-324) which both Ravenol REP, RUP (and RCS) come with. I admit it's kind of a first world problem.
This is the latest list of VW 511 00 approved oils and I'm convinced it'll grow:

12 oils are 5W-40, only three are 0W-40. Or should I say only one is 0W-40? If M1, Genuine VW and Original Audi are the same stuff?
