Technical Conclusion:
The oil fails to meet the requirements for the VW 508/509 specification. Notably, there is no mention of LSPI (Low-Speed Pre-Ignition) protection in the oil’s description, which is a critical requirement for this standard. Additionally, the absence of magnesium-based additives—commonly included to enhance performance and protection—further indicates non-compliance.
Implications of Non-Compliance:
- Insufficient Protection: The lack of LSPI protection and magnesium additives suggests that this oil may not provide adequate safeguarding for modern high-performance engines that rely on the VW 508/509 specification. Such engines are particularly vulnerable to LSPI, which can cause significant engine damage.
Conclusion:
Based on these factors, it can be concluded that the oil does not comply with the VW 508/509 approval. Users of this oil may face risks associated with inadequate engine protection, potentially leading to increased wear and performance issues in high-performance applications. It is advisable to select oils that explicitly meet the VW 508/509 standards to ensure optimal engine performance and protection.
