We were not clear enough. VW504.00/507.00 is more stringent spec. than VW502. However, VW502 comes with othrer specifications such as MB229.5, LL01 etc. So, if you ask me which oil is better, Castrol 0W40 or Castrol LL03, I would say 0W40.
Euro 0w30 is 3.5 HTHS which is almost 0w40, there is no reason to go xw40 if a high HTHS 504 0w30 like PP Euro LX is available. Just sayin.
