Other than say Porsche A40, what are the toughest specs out there for full saps oils? I've also read MB 229.5 is pretty "hard".
I think the VW 502 is 5w-30 except for a couple of close to but not quite 5w-30 spec.
Wait, what about VW 502 00, MB 229.5, BMW LL-01 and Porsche A40 simultaneously?
As LL-01 means 5W and A40 means 40 this should result in 5W-40, but a pretty tough
one and that's what you asked for.

The approval specifies an HT/HS and the resulting grade can be either a -30 or a -40 with nearly any winter rating. Grade is pretty irrelevant here.I think the VW 502 is 5w-30 except for a couple of close to but not quite 5w-30 spec.
Thanks for correction… I was thinking of VW 504/507.The approval specifies an HT/HS and the resulting grade can be either a -30 or a -40 with nearly any winter rating. Grade is pretty irrelevant here.

The other thing about those approvals is that they aren’t high SAPS, especially when combined with ACEA C3 which they usually are.Thanks for correction… I was thinking of VW 504/507.
Curious about low SAPS oil… If the target is emissions or IVD cause high detergent oils are are high SAPS. Sounds like you want low SAPS but for every step forward you gotta down side.The other thing about those approvals is that they aren’t high SAPS, especially when combined with ACEA C3 which they usually are.
