I mostly use the 0W-40 full synthetic Mobil 1 "European" or w/e they call it. I change my oil every 5K miles, including filter (Mann).
I personally use full synthetic Mobile 1 usually.
Worry less about the now old 502.00 spec than the actual oil itself. It's API SN/CF and has MB-Approval 226.5/ 229.31/ 229.51. Even though 505.00 and 505.01 are diesel engine specs, it should be fine in your older car. One of my go-to oils is Shell Rotella T6, which is specifically for diesels, but it's a great oil.
Its honestly all good, I ran Rotella T4 for a while, still good.
I'm a big Brotella Bro. I've used Rotella T6 in my WRXs, Miata, sport bikes, and dirt bike.
mobile 1 is a good brand. id go with it
Why not just buy the Mobil 1 and take it to the dealer?
I suggest running Shell t6 5w40
My 2925 Passat is happy on the Mobil 1 esp synthetic.
Recently got my first oil change at 5K and used mobil 1 0w40. The engine is now louder as compared to what it originally was. Not sure if it is the oil being too thin? or perhaps the cold weather.
