Does this oil meet VW spec 57 00 for Audi Turbo Diesel?

No, you need "Castrol SLX Professional LL03". It's hard to find outside of the dealer network...but don't settle for less.

I have a 2013 TDI VW Golf, and this is what my VW guy suggested. When in doubt I would ask your Audi mechanic. I think Audi uses the same TDI diesel engine as Volkswagen. My dealership has no problems answering my questions, and you should do the same. They really do not mind helping you out, and that way you know you are getting accurate information.

I believe yes. You can call the dealership to verify but GL-5 sounds like the rating of the gear oil and if you look in the description it says for GL-5 specifications.

This meets VW Oil Quality Standard VW 502 00, VW 504 00 and VW 507 00. This is from a Technical Bulletin which covers "All Model(s); 1997 - 2008; All Eng. Codes; All Trans. Codes; All VIN Ranges". I own a 2003 Jetta Sport Wagon TDI and found this VW Technical Bulletin online.

This is not officially sanctioned as a Mercedes or vw 507.0 oil. However I have run this in my vw 1.9 diesel and in a Mercedes 3.0 diesel both with 150k now. The sepecs of t6 actually out perform castrol 507.0, mobile 1 euro 5w30 in shear protection, and far out performs mobil 1 turbo truck in cold starts in shearing protection. There are numerous vw and Mercedes forums that support using this over castrol and mobil 1. However only use this after your warranty is up, as it is not 507.0 approved.

Your owner's manual should list an ISO standard for the Diesel additive it requires. Matching that with the standard for this should confirm that it's the same fluid. I use this in an Audi in place of that manufacturer's own brand of diesel exhaust fluid.

Zach Yes I have a08 Dodge 2500 with the 6.7 cummins, I use the 15/40 oil in the engine, and the 75/90 in the rear end, and the Max ATF in both the transmission and the power steering. all are working great , I gained 2 miles per gallon and the trans shifts smoother as well Hope this helps Greg

See the owners manual and check recommended oil volume for that model, but sounds about correct since that volume was created for German cars.

I use the Mobil 1 M1-301 Extended Oil filter for my 2002 VW Passat wagon with the 4 cyl 1.8T motor. This is a superior oil filter that I use with Mobil 1 Extended performance oil which recommends using the oil for 15,000 miles. I change it every 10,000 miles. My VW has 206,000 miles and runs great. You can determine which Mobil Oil filter is right for your car at:http://www.mobiloil.com/USA-English/MotorOil/Other_Products/Mobil_1_Extended_Performance_Oil_Filters.aspxTom

Yes,I run Amsoil euro synthetic in my 2.0t vw along with a bottle of this magical liquid! Great product!

According to Motul's published specs, yes, it does. A quick Google would have told you this. https://www.motul.com/us/en-US/products/8100-x-cess-5w40?product_category=oils-lubricants

Not sure about VW 502 - I'd check VW Vortex for that. I use it in my 2004 Porsche 911 and it has done very well so far. I submitted it for Used Oil Analysis and the results came back great. I also noted that this oil, even in Texas summer heat, stays clear for the first 6000 miles. I change it at 8000 miles, and it's still really clean. Hard to believe, but that's what I'm observing. There's some other good info on this oil at www.BobIsTheOilGuy.com .

First of all, I assume you are asking about a 2001 Jetta TDI (diesel). This fiter is will not fit your car. It is for later models with the 2.0L engine. However I also have a 2000 Jetta TDI with 1.9L , which is the same as your 2001 and it uses the Mann 726/2x filter.

You shouldn't run anything but synthetic in your turbo model. 5w-40 is perfect. exactly what the dealer uses. you will gunk up the engine if you use conventional oil.

Yes I run mine on 50/50 mix diesel and waste engine oil, or straight heating oil in winter and straight waste motor oil in summer.

Refer to your owners Manuel. Newer diesels require a special oil because of the urea injection into your exhaust. If you don't use recommended oil you will ruin this system.

Should be. DEF is Diesel Exhaust Fluid. To confirm, check the specs in your Owners Manual and the Specs on Blue Def. I believe you will find they are the same. Just go through the confirmation step.

That's more based on your car than the oil. I have a 2012 VW golf and the recommended interval is 10k miles.
