wow I didn't know so many people were interested in engine oil. Now I speak for the UK as you know BP Visco/Castrol/Mobile are all made by BP.
The data sheet below is for BP Visco 7000 however I could post up all data sheets for all grades like Castrol Longlife II or III and I can assure you they all have the same spec. Now this one quotes VW but I could show you ones quoting BMW or Volvo and they all have the same spec. Are you getting the picture???? Now it could be complety different for the states but I just don't think so some how do you???
Applications
BP Visco 7000 Longlife II fulfills the new VOLKSWAGEN LongLife concept, providing a new fuel saving, high durability engine oil. It is a SAE 0W-30 product with lowered high temperature viscosity (HTHS 3,0), meeting the special high requirements of extended service interval. BP Visco 7000 Longlife II unites the requirements of VOLKSWAGEN standards 503 00, 506 00 and 506 01, which could be covered in the past only with two separate products. BP Visco 7000 Longlife II can be used in all WIV vehicles with exception of AUDI S3, RS4, AUDI TT with 225 HP, and "w"-engines. It should not be used where VW 505 01 or 503 01 are required.
