Said honestly: the approval decides
This table gives orientation on oil types. What is binding, though, is always the approval (specification) in your owner’s manual, e.g. VW 504 00, MB 229.5 or an ACEA class. An oil with the right approval is correct, whether expensive or cheap. More under Viscosity & standards and in the Lexicon under ACEA standard.
