I'm in Saskatchewan so my summers are not as hot as probably some of you.
Thank you all in advance

VW504.00/507.00 is specification that allows 0W30 or 5W30 grades with HTHS above 3.5cp.
You are out of warranty bcs you do not have DPF anyway.
Question is, why you want this oil if DPF and EGR are out? This oil is created because of DPF and after-treatement emission hardware. You can easily use in your case high-SAPS oil such as ACEA A3/B3 B4 or some CK-4 oils etc.
But, to answer your question, this oil has HTHS above 3.5, same as 5W30 and cst is probably same as 5W30.
This is a fair point but I don't know how many 505 oils will be at this price. There is a 5W40 version 'Euro L' but on the same sale. Sometimes Edge 5W40 or Mobil1 will go on sale here that also have 505, but there is no rebate.
On that note, this oil will perform same in the summer as 5W30 VW507.00. So yeah, if price is good, why not, regardless of DPF not being there.
I just suggested that bcs here there are numerous other oils that are available and could be good fit for that CR engine. But it dawn to me now that things in Canada are bit different.
