Nulon Full Synthetic 5W-30 European Diesel Engine Oil is specifically formulated and recommended for vehicles requiring VW petrol 504.00 and diesel 507.00 specification engine oil. PAO base stocks matched with advanced high-performance additives create the ultimate engine oil for modern European engines.
Nulon Full Synthetic 5W-30 European Diesel Engine Oil is approved under VW Standard 504.00 and VW Standard 507.00 for Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda and Seat petrol and diesel vehicles within manufacturer warranty periods.
PAO base stocks matched with advanced high-performance additives create the ultimate engine oil for these modern European engines during long drain service intervals.
Recommended for use in modern turbocharged, supercharged and normally aspirated diesel and petrol engines that require the highest level of protection and performance. This oil is also suitable for vehicles fitted with Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF’s).
NOTE Not recommended for heavy-duty diesel engines. Refer to your vehicle service manual for correct lubrication requirements and service intervals.

Synthetic base oils have a number of advantages over mineral base oils. The uniformity of the synthetic oil molecules improves the thermal stability and reduces oxidation of the oil. Controlled molecular structure also results in lower volatility and a more stable vicosity over the life of the oil.
Most diesel engine oils carry a higher specification rating than petrol engine oils and vehicle manufacturers often specify a diesel engine oil be used in a petrol motor. This does not work in the reverse, petrol only engine oils cannot be used in diesels. Some engine oils carry both petrol and diesel specifications.
All engine oils contain detergent and dispersant additives which remove contaminant build-up inside your engine. When new oil is added to an engine these additives strip away build-up and hold the contaminant in suspension so it can be removed when the oil is drained, this does discolour the oil.
SAE is the Society Of Automotive Engineers (USA). The SAE rating of an oil is a measure of its viscosity (eg 20W50).
API is the American Petroleum Institute. The API rating of an engine oil covers the performance rating of the oil (e.g. SM for petrol, CF for diesel).
ACEA is a European industry body up of European vehicle manufacturers. The ACEA rating of an engine oil of covers the performance rating of the oil (e.g. A3/B3, C3).
How to change your Engine Oil
We show you how to change your vehicle's engine oil in an easy step by step process.
All you need to do this is, car jack, jack stands or ramps, socket or spanner, drain plug washer, oil filter wrench, oil drain pan, some rags, container for the used oil, some gloves, a new oil filter and Some Nulon Engine Oil.
Contact your local waste facilities or environmental protection agency. Used coolants can contain environmentally unfriendly materials that have originated from the engine cooling system and need appropriate disposal. Do not drain used coolant onto the ground or into storm water.
Engine, gearbox, and transmission oils are blended from base oils. These base oils are categorised into Groups by the API Base Oil Classification system. If the automotive field Group III and Group IV base oils are marketed as synthetic.
Follow the vehicle manufacturers guidelines. Use an oil that meets there required specification and follow the vehicle manufacturer recommendation on oil change intervals. The interval can vary depending on driving and climate conditions.
Nulon provide lubricant recommendations in their on-line Lube Guide. (mobile version)
All engine oils contain zinc, but in varying amounts.
