Audi, Porsche or VW Requiring VW 508 00 / 509 00 Oil? Liqui-Moly Top Tec 6200 0W-20 20236 — OEM-Approved Protection Fast

Using the wrong motor oil in a modern Audi, Porsche, or VW with a gasoline particulate filter (GPF) or diesel particulate filter (DPF) can void your warranty and damage your engine. In these vehicles, the OEM specifies a very narrow lubricant standard — VW 508 00 / 509 00 or Porsche C20 — that only a handful of oils meet. When an incorrect or backwards-compatible oil is used, it can clog the particulate filter, reduce engine efficiency, and shorten oil change intervals. ⚡ Critical spec for late-model Audi, Porsche, and VW engines with GPF/DPF systems. Part 20236 is the genuine Liqui-Moly Top Tec 6200 0W-20 — a high-tech, low-friction fully synthetic motor oil that meets VW 508 00 / 509 00 and Porsche C20 standards, enabling extremely long WIV oil change intervals while protecting against wear and maintaining engine cleanliness.

❓ Is This the Right Oil?

This is the correct oil if ALL of the following are true:

• ✔ Your vehicle is an Audi, Porsche, or VW model requiring VW 508 00, VW 509 00, or Porsche C20 specification oil
• ✔ Engine is a gasoline or diesel with a particulate filter (GPF or DPF)
• ✔ Your owner’s manual or service sticker specifies 0W-20 viscosity
• ✔ You need an oil that supports extended WIV (variable service interval) drain schedules

⚠️ Important: This oil is NOT backwards compatible with older VW/Audi oil standards (e.g., VW 504 00 / 507 00). Only use if your vehicle explicitly requires 508 00 / 509 00 or Porsche C20.

🔧 Common Symptoms of Using the Wrong Oil

• Particulate filter warning light or DPF/GPF regeneration errors
• Reduced fuel economy or sluggish engine response
• Shortened oil change intervals or early oil degradation warnings
• Engine running rough or increased emissions at startup

✔ If these symptoms appeared after an oil change with a non-approved lubricant, switching to Top Tec 6200 0W-20 at the next service is the correct fix.

✔ In most cases, using the correct VW 508 00 / 509 00 approved oil restores normal filter regeneration cycles and engine efficiency immediately.
