"TOTAL QUARTZ INEO LONG LIFE 0W-20 with ART is designed to meet the SAE 0W-20 viscosity grade requirement of European vehicles and is particularly purposed for use in the VW group vehicles, requiring the very specific VW 508.00/509.00 BLUE OIL standard, which despite its name appears green in the can.

If the drain intervals remain unchanged compared to the 5W-30 standard (VW 504.00 / 507.00), with 30,000 kms or an oil change every two years, TOTAL QUARTZ INEO LONG LIFE 0W-20 represents more fuel economy and better wear protection of the engine. Indeed, the criteria specific to Volkswagen are more severe."
 
Since I just picked up an Audi S4 that calls for this new spec, I've been waiting to hear more information about it. I don't know if this oil spec will ever be readily available on the shelves of say Walmart. I've been a huge fan of Castrol 0w-40 when I had my S3 so would like to stick with Castrol if I can. Would be interesting to see a VOA of this new 508.00/509.00 spec.
