Audi / VW Oil Approval Reminder
Many Audi engines require oil that meets a specific VW/Audi approval standard, not just a viscosity grade like 0W-20, 0W-30, 0W-40, 5W-30, or 5W-40. Check the owner’s manual, oil cap, or dealer guidance for the correct approval code before buying oil. Examples may include VW 502.00, 504.00, 505.00, 507.00, 508.00, or other model-specific approvals depending on engine and year. Using oil without the required approval can increase wear risk, oil consumption, emissions-system problems, or warranty/service issues.

Volkswagen Engine Oil Specifications Guide
Volkswagen oil capacity is not the same across the full brand. Different engines, trim levels, and model configurations can require different oil volumes, viscosity grades, and specification standards.
Modern Volkswagen engines (especially turbocharged, hybrid, or direct-injection versions) require engine oil formulated to handle specific heat loads, emission system protections, and detergent levels.
Use the model directory above, then choose the exact year and engine. Always add oil gradually and confirm the final fill level with the physical dipstick or electronic oil-level display.
