The information that I have from Fuchs the factory fill German Company for VAG states that the 503.01 is not for AVS, only the 503.00.

I would find it hard to believe that this is incorrect, not saying it isn't though.

Was just reading this.

I normally use the long life oil in my A4 1.8T quattro. Its the Castrol SLX II stuff, the codes match the codes in the car manual. I do change it every 5-6k miles though. Its just I get that oil mega cheap off a mate.
