    The difference is in the base oils and additives. As Diesel_vert mentioned PD injectors in our engines are mechanically actuated from the camshaft lobes and need a special oil so, one have to be really careful what oil you put in the engine.

    Hi,

    I've got a 09 T5 2.5L BPC.

    Is the VW504/507.00 oil needed in a T5 because of the DPF and EGR?

    Would I still need this oil if the DPF/EGR were deleted?

    Thanks

    You will need to run it regardless.

    You shouldn’t have any issues with that oil, it’s approved for VW507.00
    You just need to check if the approval is still valid, since it expires every 2or3 years.

    They seem to stock the Nulon European at all the Supercheap autos in Sydney now in 5lt only, they know how to charge for it though. Advertised on Ebay through a supplier in Penrith for $55 per 5lt with free delivery and Supercheap have a price match guarentee so it saves $20 over their $74.99 list price. I've had no arguments and they instantly price match at the Mascot store. Autobarn stores also have it in their fathers day catalogue for $59.99 for 5lt.

    Can you explain why an approval is still valid as surely the engine doesnt change itself or the oils content as well .

    The oil companies change the formulation from time to time. One of the reasons is that some additives aren’t available at the moment.
    So the car manufacturers require the sample of their oil to confirm that they’re sticking to the oil specifications.
    I hope it helps.
