VW 502 00

VW 502 00 is an oil standard of the Volkswagen Group, developed for gasoline engines with high torque and increased requirements for protection against wear, oxidation and corrosion. The technical specification requires stability at high temperatures, controlled viscosity (typically 5W‑30/5W‑40), low deposit levels and the ability to maintain combustion‑chamber cleanliness, which is especially important for direct injection and turbocharging. VW 502 00 is suitable for a wide range of gasoline power units from VW, Audi, SEAT and Škoda, including the EA888, EA113 engines and other high‑performance platforms that do not require low‑sulphate (SAPS) formulas. Although the standard does not provide specific compatibility with DPF or SCR, it remains compatible with the newer VW 504 00/507 00 requirements, allowing it to be used as a base, backward‑compatible alternative when updating oil. Choosing an oil that meets VW 502 00 ensures engine durability, stable power output and reduced risk of premature wear under various operating conditions.
