VW 502 00 vs VW 504 00: Key Differences

Features	VW 502 00	VW 504 00
Engine type	Primarily for high-performance petrol engines	Primarily for petrol engines (low SAPS oil for reducing emissions)
Protection level	Offers high protection against wear and deposits in high-performance engines	Improved protection for petrol motors producing low emissions, optimised for fuel efficiency and long-term engine health
Application	For vehicles with high-performance petrol engines, especially those requiring a higher power output	For modern petrol engines, including turbocharged models and those with direct injection systems
Emission standards	Does not focus specifically on low emissions but still performs well in Euro IV/Euro V engines	Low SAPS oil (Sulphated Ash, Phosphorus, and Sulphur) designed to meet Euro V and Euro VI emissions standards, improving fuel economy and reducing CO2 emissions
Oil viscosity grades	Typically 5W-30, 5W-40	Typically 5W-30, 0W-30, 5W-40
Fuel economy	Optimised for performance, but not specifically for fuel economy	Optimised for fuel economy and reduced emissions, particularly for vehicles with modern emission control systems
Compatibility	Compatible with high-performance petrol engines, such as those in older vehicles	Compatible with newer petrol engines with turbochargers and direct injection and modern emission systems (including Euro V and VI compliant vehicles)
Oil change intervals	Supports standard oil change intervals for high-performance engines	Supports extended oil change intervals, particularly for modern vehicle with low emission systems
