You cannot get it here.

Currently only Motul and the VW labeled 505.01 oils are the only 505.01
sold here.

Your VW dealer should be able to sell you the 505.01, even if they don't
normally carry it.

G 052 167 A2  is the VW part number.

Or find a Motul dealer in your area and purchase from them:

VW says first change at 5k, second at 10k, after that every 10k.
