[QUOTE="Balt21, post: 16326261, member: 165808"] I haven't specifically heard of ACEA A5, but I remember my VW GTI had to use VW approved oil, a quick google says it was VW502. It was usually listed on the back of the bottles, I believe most of the Euro spec oils qualifies for VW. I'm guessing ACEA A5 is a similar thing. I looked at a couple oil manufacturers and if you look under specifications it lists the grades. Here is a Pennzoil that meets ACEA A5[URL='https://www.pennzoil.com/en_us/products/full-synthetic-motor-oils/pennzoil-ultra-platinum.html']Pennzoil Ultra Platinum[/URL] and here is a Mobil 1 that meets it [URL='https://mobiloil.com/en/motor-oils/mobil-1/mobil-1-annual-protection#5W-30']Mobil 1™ Annual Protection | Mobil™ Motor Oils[/URL] The Mobil 1 site has a "find the right oil" button that lets you select your car and it recommends oil. I just picked the 1st engine option (advanced 4 cyl), so that might not be right for your car, but it meets the ACEA A5 spec. Someone else can probably explain what it actually means. [/QUOTE]
