As per title. Time to change the oil and the need to have the audi stamp in the book brings me into conflict with Audi again. They only have 507.00 oil and insist it's the right one for my car. My manual says 505.01 5w40 (which is an oil specially developped for PD diesel engines).
Arghhhh. Where can I get a definitive yes or no to whether 507.00 can replace 505.01?
Anyone had oil changed recently? If so what did you put in?
PS. Last service they put 507.00 in. I haven't noticed any odd effects, but then you wouldn't until it was too late, I suppose.
