drumstick Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 Hi folks. Can a one let me know the required oil speck for a 55 plate 1.9tdi passat. Also I'm going to get the cam belt and bits changed bit I've noticed there are lots of different brands on the market. Which is the best/most reliable to fit. Thanks.

cruiser647 Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Not sure on oil spec, but it HAS to be PD compatible. Your manual will have the spec in there. Something about VW 50*.* spec. Have a look on 'oilmans' site in the For Sale/classified section. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilman Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Hi The oil you need depends on the service schedule the car is on. If it is on an annual/10k miles service, you need an oil that meets the 505.01 specification. If it's the variable service schedule (up to 20k/2 years), you need an oil that meets the 507.00 spec. 505.01 - VW - Engine Oil - 505.01 507.00 - VW - Engine Oil - 507.00 - VW 507.00 motor oil They are all good oils, so make your decision based on any brand/price preference you have.
