Are there really no full synthetic vw508 oils?

[Acadia18]

Wait, VW508 is green?

I'd start pouring it into my engine and be like "I think this oil went bad..."

I use Total:

What is your issue? Group 3 hydrocrack isn't syn enough for you? Approval is approval.

I’m looking for something I can run in between track days that can get me better gas mileage through out it’s interval. That’s it.

Then any of the 508 oils will do that - my point was don't get hung up on base-stock, it's about approval and the total oil package (base + additives) is what matters and what the approval takes into account.

No according to a few people who posted previously.

The dye will still show up under special light if not to the eye after xxxx miles.

It shows 508 oil on their website. Full synthetic.

Jimmy, me boyo, remember my post about the maple syrup Paulaner blend that I recommended for use in the VW - just like amSOIL recommends their swill for 508 engines.

I only said that it's says it's 508 compliant.

Whatever. I don't use Amsoil by the way.

So, just to stir the pot... Seeing as 5k is a popular change interval with most tuned owners - Does a modern properly spec'd oil come close to the end of it's useful life in that time?

Nope. I'm sent mine to Blackstone a few times and the report always said it could go much longer.
