Default Follow-up to my other oil question, is the 2.0t VW 505 01 or VW 502 00?

Or does an oil just need to meet one of the two standards?

Elf DID. It satisfies both so I'm just going to go with it.

Default Strange, the Elf product sheet doesn't have the DID listed as both.

They have DID as 505.01 and the LDX as 502.00. Main difference from the data sheet seems to be the higher flash point and higher TBN of the LDX.

Although they are kinda old datasheets.<ul><li><a href="http://www.finalube.com/Product_Data_Files/ELF_Product_Data/excellium_did_5W40_pdf.pdf">http://www.finalube.com/Product_Data_Files/ELF_Product_Data/excellium_did_5W40_pdf.pdf</a</li></ul>
