Following a technical bulletin release from the VAG group, due to rapid ‘Acidification’ (premature ageing) of the engine oil, VAG are now specifying that oil change intervals for the VW Golf GTE engines and the Audi A3 e-tron engines are now due at 15,000km and not 30,000km as previously specified.
For this reason, there is no longer an SAE 5W-30 Long-Life oil with VAG 504.00 approval, as they are now specifying and have now superseded the SAE 5W-30 for a SAE 5W-40 engine oil with a VAG specification 502.00 approval.
Motor oils with this specification VAG (VW 502.00) offers better protection against ageing of the motor oil.
New service intervals:
VW Golf VII 1.4 GTE changed to
VW 502.00 SAE 5W-40 each
15.000KM.
Audi A3 1.4 TFSI e-tron changed to
VW 502.00 SAE 5W-40 each
15.000KM.
