I'm running Total Quartz Ineo MC3 5w30 on 5k oci's (voa, uoa coming). It's 502/505.01. It's on the warranty sheet. I contacted VW about the 502 vs 504 issue. On the radiator support it says to use 502 only. The manual says I can use 502 or 504. The VWOA rep said the 504 listing in the manual is an oversight due to the use of the oil in Europe. I compromised because I wanted to run a 504. I wanted a low saps, higher tbn, higher noack oil that's warranty compliant...so that's why the 505.01. After the warranty is up, I'm switching to a 504.
