Purpose and Specifications

Engine oil MOTUL SPECIFIC 505 01 505 00 5W40 1L is a 100% synthetic lubricant built for VAG Group diesel vehicles like Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda, and Seat. Its 5W40 viscosity flows smoothly at cold starts down to -30°C and stays thick up to 150°C under heavy loads, cutting engine wear by protecting pistons and parts during high-heat operation.

Meets key specs: FORD WSS-M2C917-A, ACEA C3, VW 502.00, VW 505.00, and VW 505.01. Mid-SAPS formula (reduced ash, phosphorus, sulfur) keeps modern diesel particulate filters clean while delivering strong anti-wear protection proven in friction tests to minimize scratches on metal surfaces.

• Perfect for pump-nozzle diesel engines (PD units) in TDI models
• Supports extended drain intervals up to 30,000 km or 12 months
• 1L bottle ideal for top-ups or small engines

When to Use / Replace?

Use this oil in VAG diesel cars requiring VW 505.01 approval, especially high-mileage TDI engines prone to camshaft wear. Swap every 15,000-30,000 km or yearly, or sooner if towing heavy loads or in extreme temps (-30°C to 40°C ambient). Shelf life is 5 years unopened in cool, dry storage.

Practical perks: Quieter engine, better fuel economy, longer turbo and injector life.
