Purpose and Specifications

MOTUL SPECIFIC 506 01 506 00 503 00 0W30 5L is a premium 100% synthetic engine oil with ester base, designed for Volkswagen, Audi, Seat, and Skoda gasoline and diesel engines from model year 2003. Its 0W-30 viscosity flows easily at cold starts down to -35°C for quick protection and stays thick up to 150°C for high-heat durability during long drives or towing.

This fuel economy oil cuts internal friction to save gas, reduces wear with a tough oil film, and supports extended drain intervals up to 30,000 km or 24 months as set by your vehicle's computer (WIV system). It controls oil consumption, fights oxidation, and protects against corrosion for smoother operation and longer engine life. Approved to strict VW 506.01, 506.00, and 503.00 specs, it's perfect for modern VAG engines including turbo diesels.

When to Use / Replace?

• Use it if: Your VW, Audi, Seat, or Skoda manual lists VW 506.01, 506.00, or 503.00 approvals, especially for extended service intervals on post-2003 models.
• Replace every: 15,000-30,000 km or 12-24 months, following your owner's manual or onboard computer—whichever comes first. For fixed intervals on some turbo diesel unit injectors, stick to 15,000 km.
• Ideal conditions: Cold winters (-35°C starts), hot summers (150°C peaks), highway cruising, or city stop-go driving where fuel savings and engine protection matter most.
