But I do appreciate your reply even if :Sly
PLEASE for the love of your car RE-READ the oil requirements. You NEED to use oil that is approved under the VW 505.01 specification to maintain warranty coverage. The easiest place to get it is the dealer. Should be under $6/l. If its more, tell them to give you a better price.
Before you complain about the $6/l price, your oil change interval is 10,000 miles.
Other sources of oil are places that sell TDI parts tdiparts.com, worldimpex.com, etc...
Elf and Motul are other complaint oils/sources. Allegedly there is a Quaker State oil that recently got certification, but its NOT very clear if it is VW approved of 'meets and exceeds'.
Amsoil alleges that they have an oil that 'meets or exceeds', but remember that this is the company that can not spell Peugeot on their labels...
if you search on google for 505.01 oil you will find PLENTY of info.
bottom line- feed your motor the RIGHT oil.
