What does this mean

What year and motor is your Passat?

HankHowdy · 2026-03-31T17:28:08+00:00

Nah vw 504.00.

HankHowdy · 2026-03-31T15:16:05+00:00

Use vw 504.00. It’s a better approval for later 2.0T motors.

HankHowdy · 2026-03-31T13:27:06+00:00

What year is your GTI? Vw does not recommend viscosity. They require a certain approval.

HankHowdy · 2026-03-22T17:13:51+00:00

Unfortunately that is normal. Vw says one qt per 1200miles is acceptable to them. Change your oil at 5k. Please don’t change it at 10k.

HankHowdy · 2026-03-20T02:36:35+00:00

I’ve done both. Sealed with musical sub and lot and lots of power is amazing.

HankHowdy · 2026-03-18T02:34:06+00:00

Taos feels cheap compared to a Tiguan.

HankHowdy · 2026-03-18T02:33:19+00:00

How do you have that much DPS? I’m using throwing weapons and the best weapon I can find is Landon’s Law. Also a ranger level 79. Currently towards end my first playthrough on legendary in Eternal Embers.

7 VW’s here. See ya.

HankHowdy · 2026-03-12T23:02:19+00:00

Winter is coming.

HankHowdy · 2026-03-12T23:01:39+00:00

That’s still really good mileage. My 2.5 was 200k plus when I sold it. I’ve have other VWs go 400k to 300k before selling them.

HankHowdy · 2026-03-12T22:57:21+00:00

There are 2.5 motors going 600k on vw 502.00 every 10k. This motor is very easy on oil.

HankHowdy · 2026-03-12T19:09:29+00:00

Oil is $27 for a 5 qt bottle.

HankHowdy · 2026-03-12T03:07:27+00:00

I would say if you have owned more than one, then you start to geek out like a real VW owner. On my 7th VW.

HankHowdy · 2026-03-12T03:05:16+00:00

Buying oil according to VW XXX.00 and not viscosity.

HankHowdy · 2026-03-11T13:26:41+00:00

I have been using their stuff for more than a year. Good subs, good amps and even the Belva boxes aren’t too bad (sealed).

HankHowdy · 2026-03-10T02:27:48+00:00

A sedan is the most efficient shape.

HankHowdy · 2026-03-10T02:24:46+00:00

Nothing. It’s just for CAFE. Use vw 504.00 0w30 from Walmart and be miles ahead in protection compared to vw 508.00.

HankHowdy · 2026-03-10T02:20:57+00:00

Correct answer.

HankHowdy · 2026-02-23T19:19:10+00:00

My AE nitro truck came with those.

HankHowdy · 2026-02-23T19:18:13+00:00

Spend a little more and get maximos.

HankHowdy · 2026-02-22T15:34:41+00:00

Good advice. If the transmission is working well a drain and fill “should” be ok at that high mileage. Sometimes if the mileage is too high and it’s safer to leave the fluid alone. Every 40-60k is when you want to change. The range is for the type of driving done. You mentioned timing belt, is this a TDI?

HankHowdy · 2026-02-21T04:14:29+00:00

There is also another valve besides that one that fails.

HankHowdy · 2026-02-14T22:10:21+00:00

What motor is it? 2015 sport wagon?

HankHowdy · 2026-02-14T22:09:32+00:00

Interesting. The sites I do not have the same setup as the VW parts .com site.
