you need the 505.01 oil in your 06 tdi not the 505.00.-1- said:Great information. I have a new 2006 NewBeetle TDI. I've started checking and can't find the 502 & 505 spec oil anywhere. Besides the dealer, where is it available in the USA?

No, but I'll buy it off you for use in my VR6.-1- said:I'm confused. I have several cases of Castrol Syntec, SAE 5W-40 Full synthetic motor oil. VW 502.00, 505.00. "Offers full synthetic performance, engineered specifically to meet the Volkswagen engine warranty requirements including testing in VW TDI engines". Can I used this oil in my 2006 VW TDI?
