Technical Conclusion:

VW504/507 Standard Requirement: Ash content should not exceed 1.0%.

Analysis:

The ash content of 1.12% is above the maximum allowable limit for oils meeting the VW504/507 specifications. This suggests that the oil likely contains a

cheaper additive package that does not comply with these standards. Specifically, it indicates that the oil is not a Low SAPS (Sulphated Ash, Phosphorus, and Sulfur)

formulation, which is typically required for the VW504/507 standard to ensure compatibility with after-treatment devices like particulate filters. The higher ash

content could lead to issues such as increased deposits in the engine and exhaust system, potentially affecting the performance and longevity of the vehicle.
