VW petrol spec is 504.00

That oil does not meet that spec.

Ge an oil that says 504.00 approved. Determine the weight based on your climate and the user manual specifications.

Right. I need just about 7 quarts, but my problem here is that my manual only states to use 5w40, 5w30 etc, and to "be careful because not all 5w40 and 5w30" are up to spec. But it does not state to use 504. Would you mind recommending some oil that are suitable for my Touareg that are up to spec?

Strange. My manual gives the spec.

Care to post where you manual specifies weight only?

It says 503.00 but that has been superseded by 504.00 but obviously a 503.00 spec will also suffice.

Yes, when i get home i will show you my manual. So as long as it says 5w40, 5w30, or 0w40 and "Volkswagon Approved" as well as 502 on the bottle, then that should be the right oil, correct?

It must say 503.00 or 504.00 approved. The weight is not as important as the vw required approval.
