Qualities of motor oils (VW Golf 4)

All-season oils according to VW standards 501 01 and 505 00 are relatively inexpensive oils with the following qualities:

• year-round use in temperate climate zones;
• excellent cleaning properties;
• good lubricating ability at all temperatures and engine loads;
• high stability of initial properties over a long period of time.

All-season oils with improved anti-friction properties according to the VW 500 00 standard also have additional advantages:

• year-round use at almost all possible outdoor temperatures;
• low engine power losses due to friction;
• facilitating cold engine starting - also at very low temperatures.

Warning: Due to their specific viscosity-temperature properties, monograde oils usually cannot be used all year round. Therefore, these oils should only be used in extreme climate zones.

Warning: When using SAE 5W-30 grade multigrade oils, prolonged high engine speed operation and constant high engine loads should be avoided. These restrictions do not apply to multigrade oils with improved antifriction properties.

Warning: No friction reducing additives should be added to motor oils.
