My car is a 2002 A4 3.0 qS. The oil recommended in the owner's manual is VW 503.00, though the manual also refers to VW 503.01. I'm now finding it difficult to obtain 503.00: Castrol seem to have discontinued the oil that I've been using, and replaced it with another 0w-30 oil (Edge). This, however, is manufactured to VW 503.01 and not VW 503.00.
The car uses a fair bit of oil - about 0.5l/2 months - so I need to keep some handy and want to be able to buy it locally (it's a bit of a trek to the main dealer).
Will I be OK using 503.01? Or must I continue to hunt for 503.00?
Does anyone have any opinions of Millers Oil? I hadn't heard of them until today, but have discovered that they seem to make an oil to VW
503.00. Not sure if it'll make any difference, though - I don't know if there's anywhere round here that sells it.Thanks.
Peter.
