It would be interesting to see those videos. So does it get damaged every morning when you start the car?

The Turbo version isn't the Budack cycle is it? ( Atlas version)
Isn't that the low horse normally aspirated mill?

Yeah I was wondering the same thing. Also what happens if someone uses what would be referred to as a "Thick 20" versus a "Thin 30".

BUDACK cycle engines are the turbo engines GEN3B EA888 1.8t & 2.0t

If VW standardized their oil to our API specs, life would be a heck of a lot easier and I imagine sales would skyrocket as well.

Lets look up the oil pump part number for the USA vs the world...…….

The new style engine that requires 0w20 uses a new oil pump design and a has 22 teeth gears vs 24 teeth for higher ratio and faster build up of oil pressure

Is all of this done to get a few extra mpg's?
If so at what cost? Thanks!

The primary goals of this engine are to reduce CO2 and particulate emissions

well as long as you have a good dealer and good techs who know what is suppose to go in the cars you shouldn't have an issue with getting the correct oil.
im not sure how many dealers have this in bulk containers yet, but i know there are a lot of dealers who only have it in bottles, so the parts dept should know what oil the cars get along with the techs when doing the oil changes

More talk about 508.00 in this thread: https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/4672060/VW_508_Spec-0w20
Of course you should. Same engines are designed first and foremost around 5W40 oils. They are still recommended to use ACEA C3 in EU and ACEA A3/B3 B4 in Russia, Ukraine and other former Soviet Republics as well as rest of the world.
Now, only reason why VW moved to 0W20 in the US is CAFE and aiming most of their line up to soccer moms.
VW and Volvo(new models), recommed 0w-20 in EU

That's what I've been saying, the owner's manual is written 50% by engineers, 40% by the marketing people and 10% by CAFE

My dealer uses the right oil.
I know this is not my thread, but can I ask that we drop the viscosity argument? I don't much care for 0W20 either but most people simply shouldn't take the economic risk on fairly expensive cars by not using what the manufacturer specs and get denied a warranty claim. So within that requirement, we would just like to know what the best oil is? Does anyone know much about the add packs of Ineo or LiquiMoly?

Motul has a 508.00 approved product. I can get it from a local supplier in 5L jugs for about $59.
