.
That's what I asked myself. We'll see when Mobil accounces its Ultimate 0W-40.

[svenson]

two new additions:

- Mobil 1 ESP X5 5W-30 (VW 504 00/507 00)
- Mobil 1 Ultimate 0W-40 (VW 511 00)

At least new to me. Both on May 27th issues.

X5 for bmw x5 model and ultimate for BP gas users..

X5 must be new and not released yet, or is it Euro market only? Wonder how it compares to the current 5W-30 ESP.

we still struggle to find new 0-40 and SP 5-30 in most european markets,except finland ,so we will probably never meet these 2 ones.

Since I've noticed some members have repeatedly been searching for a dedicated list of Volkswagen
approved engine oils and some tried to help by uploading PDF sheets, which inevitably suffer from
getting outdated quite soon,
I will post these links officially provided by Volkswagen's "erWin" platform.
The very particular merit is, that these links, even though they remain the same, will always direct you
to the very LATEST list.

Why not make this thread 'sticky' ?

two new additions:

- Mobil 1 ESP X5 5W-30 (VW 504 00/507 00)
- Mobil 1 Ultimate 0W-40 (VW 511 00)

At least M1 Ultimate 0W-40 does exist now (CN > Chinese market?):

But, Mobil doesn't advertise VW 511 00 yet.

Hope I finally happened to provide the most comprehensive collection of Volkswagen approved oil.
For obvious reasons some VW approvals are more relevant than others. That's why I choose to pass
on approvals intended for use in 3rd world coustries (VW 508 88/509 99). Most relevant are certainly
VW 502 00, VW 504 00, VW 508 00 and perhaps the most recent VW 511 00 may also be interesting.

I get "403 forbidden" when I click the links. Probably user(me) error

Don't blame yourself, but it's simply very most probably your region. Try using a proxy server.
