No turbo? Your engine can run on ANY oil in the store. Dino oil? Just use the "STANDARD OIL" option when resetting the OC indicator. 0w-20? No problem in Arctic cold. 20w-50? Perfect for Texas summer or Saudi Arabia.
People loosing their minds over 229 spec oils, they are no different than other manufactures specs.

This is the kind of idiocy we find surrounding technical discussions, opinions but no data.
If you want to teach me a lesson, send me a bunch of Mobil Delvac 10w-30 and I'll use it in my poor engine.
https://www.mobil.com/en/lubricants/...-super-15w-40/
Mobil Delvac 1300 Super 15W-40 diesel engine oil is recommended by ExxonMobil for use in:
- The latest heavy-duty diesel engines, including those equipped with aftertreatment systems and EGR

- On-highway applications operating in both high speed/high load and short haul pick-up/delivery service
- Off-highway applications operating in severe low speed/heavy load conditions using up to 500 ppm sulfur fuels
- High-performance gasoline engines requiring API SN and mixed fleet operations

502? lol, no.
502 is the weakest spec in the business, an RS4 owner should know that.

VW 502.00 505.00 is old hence it's poor oil performance profile .
And yes you'll get Audi drivers with RS4 etc using it because their frozen in time handbooks says to use it !
Oil technology moves on...
I use a VW spec in a Merc , sometimes an oil can carry both specs .
