inquires about engine oil
My AUDI A4 was installed EA888 GEN3 Engine ( 140KW, Engine code CWNA). I was recently noticed that this engine perhaps apply Audi B cycle tech, Audi suggests to use 0W20 oil and standard meets to VW 508. can anyone tell me whether i can follow this oil?

What's in you car manual? I thought it is spec VW504...

The factory user manual suggest to use oil standard meets up to VW 502 or VW504. But, the Newest Audi maintenance schedule introduces the engine with B cycle technology should use 0W20 viscosity as per VW 508 oil standard, especially Audi is using B cycle to EA888 GEN3 engine with low power already, I knew my Audi have EA888 GEN3 engine, but i couldn't certain whether I should use 0W20 oil.

Audi/VW recommendation -- "B-Cycle and 3.0 Turbo (S4, S5, SQ5) Gasoline Engines:Audi oil standard VW 508.00". Yes, 508.00 is 0W20 and it can save gas to match the whole purpose of B cycle engine which is to save gas. However, the 508.00 standard has a lot more than just save gas -- it's the additive package to keep the engines clean. Otherwise, they wouldn't let a thin 0W20 oil be used in high performance 3.0 Turbo engine for those S model cars. If I were you, I would stick to the Audi's spec and use 0W20 oil which meets VW508.00 standard (note: not all 0W20 oil meets VW508.00 spec). They designed the engine to handle the thin oil.

Zheng, I don't know what country you are writing from, but Audi places a label under the hood that describes which oil standard should be used. It's typically on the plastic panels above the area where the radiator sits.

The 502 (5w40) spec is dead now. You'll have 508 (0w-20) for the B-cycle motors and 504 (5w30) for the rest in the US. Factory fill on everything but the B-cycle motors is 0w30 (also a 504 spec).
