I was shopping at Autobarn yesterday & noticed Castrol have finally started marketing the oil I need in 5 litre containers.
It's called FST [Fluid Strength Technology] & meets VW 504 00 & also 507 00. "Fulfils the requirements of former 503 01"
It is priced @ $75 for 5 litres but with the 20% sale this weekend worked out @ $60. The last time I purchased Castrol 507 00 oil I had to buy 20 litres. It cost $385 & that was supposed to be trade.
In around '07 or thereabouts I purchased Castrol 507 00[longlife 111] for from memory for $66 from VW just before they changed over to VW branded oil. At the time it was a good deal so I bought 2 containers. After I had used them, I regretted not buying more, so now I can stay with Castrol for a reasonable price.
