Can someone tell me about the Castrol SLX Professional OE oil that the VW dealerships are now using? It is a 5w-30 oil and is VW 505.01 certified.
There are cam-wear issues in the 2.0T on the high-pressure fuel pump cam lobe. From what I understand, VW created the 505.01 standard to curb camshaft wear in the TDI-PD engines.
This begs the question... Will this new oil reduce wear of the camshaft lobe in the 2.0T? Are there any used oil analysis showing reduced iron levels after running this oil?
FWIW, I searched and couldn't find much. Thanks for responses... I'm new to BITOG and learning a lot!
