The label says that? Their website says only SN.





Here is Page 5 of 8 VW approved oils list. I highlighted the MM 5w40

Where did you get that list? It isn't on the list available on the website.

I don't know what year it's from.

Ahha well you may have better information than I saw. I used to have a subscription to erWin when I took care of my neighbor lady's VW, now I just go on the Audi website for (what I thought was) the most current list:

https://www.audiusa.com/content/dam/audiusa/Documents/Audi-1997-2016-Technical-Service-Bulletin.pdf

How odd that there are two lists, I never knew that. Thanks for the info.

I've always been suspicious of lists though, for the most part they are outdated the moment the are published. I always tended to go by what was printed on the container label. Maybe that isn't always accurate either...

I agree the lists are slow to update and not often enough.

Canadian Tire's website is problematic on a good day. If you're ever bored and want a chuckle, just go through a few random oil examples and look at the other laughable errors they have.
