Designed specifically for recent VAG group cars (Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda, Seat) fitted with EURO IV engines that require lubricants with low sulphur, low phosphorus, and low sulphated ashes rates.
The compatibility of Motul specific 504 00-507 00 5W-30 over previous VW oil standards 502 00, 505 00, 505 01, 503 00, 503 01, 506 00, or 506 01 is notable.
EURO IV emission regulation compliant engines are fitted with sensitive systems for exhaust gas after treatment.
Catalytic convertor's operation can be inhibited by sulphur and phosphorus, potentially damaging catalytic components and resulting in inefficient exhaust gas treatment.
Diesel particulate filters can be clogged by sulphated ashes, thus shortening the regenerating cycle.
