I buy XL-III from Napa.

It's usually around $107 for 20 quarts.

Wow, great deal.

I'm not seeing the cheap Valvoline XL-lll online at Napa. I've bought the M1 ESP euro 504/507 from them at that price though.

I bought a 6 pack of the 0w-20 from Amazon. About 40 bucks. Nice that it was in its original 6 quart container box. No loose bottles. Much less prone to leakage. As far as approvals, strictly VW. VW/Audi 508 00/509 00, Porsche 20 and ACEA C5. Good enough for me.

Not a fan of Valvoline?

Not a fan of Valvoline?

nah, I was referring to 0W20 not Valvoline.
I used Valvoline before in my X5 35d, but 5W40 flavor.

 

[edyvw]

Why

Sorry, I suppose to be more precise, 0W20.

 

[RooflessVW]

Sorry, I suppose to be more precise, 0W20.

That makes sense. I know MST used to be your oil.

 

[edyvw]

Yeah, I used it in X5. Was excellent performer.

I recall you had some MST … funny we never got it until it showed up on clearance and I made an OCI in 5.3L

mid sap yeah ?

Yeah, but then Valvoline moved to full SAPS but looks like it just had bump in SAPS as all other indicators are the same. It looks like solid choice. KV100 13.1, HTHS 3.7. That is on par with some PAO oils. Though Noack is 10.

Oh I totally understand

Is the VW508.00/509.00 requirement the only time you've broken from what's required by VW/Audi in a VAG vehicle? I know this is the case with some of guys on the VAG boards. Many of them are using 504/507 or 505, 502. Even some dexos2 C3 converts.
