    I have a 2008 Passat 2.0T that we got a year ago and discovered over time that it's an oil pig! My VW dealer only sells me the VW recommended Castrol Edge Professional OE/505.01 5w-40, but I'm looking for a cheaper alternative since this motor goes through quite quickly. Mechanic says it's...

    I have a lot of Liqui Moly 5w40 Diesel synthetic left from when my 2005 Jetta TDI was working. Long story short, it was the worst cat I've ever owned. Liqui Moly is expensive stuff and I don't want to waste it. Will it work in my 2003 Passat 1.8T? What is different about the diesel 5w40...

    Hi ! I'm wondering if 5w40 oil in 507.00 exist and I don't think so. So is there any one trying another oil in 5w40 with a DPF and Injector pump 2007 TDI 170 engine ? Thanks by advance

    Don't want to start another oil thread, just want to know where I can get some oil in Toronto. Tried a couple Canadian tire locations and a wall mart to find Castrol edge 5w40 but non of them had it in stock. I did find mobil 1 turbo diesel truck. But not sure if I can use that in my 1.8t...

    I've done much searching but no real answers to my question. I have an ATW 1.8t with 190k and have been using LiquiMoly Synthoil Premium 5w40 for quite a while. Always really happy with the oil until about 3500-4k miles when it starts to burn it off. I'm a big fan of LiquiMoly and can get it...

    Other than indy shops, which of the chain (PEPBOYS, Tire Plus, Monroe, etc) shop uses 5W-40 synthetic (meeting VW 502 standard) for engine oil changes? I called around and I am getting inconsistent replies from different locations of these chain shops. For example, I called one shop and ask...

    Hi everyone, I do not know if this is a great deal but just wanted to let you all know. Currently amazon.com is selling 6 quarts of Valvoline VV966 SynPower Motor Oil SAE 5W-40 for $29.99 with FREE SHIPPING. This oil meets VW502. Amazon.com: Valvoline VV966 SynPower Motor Oil SAE 5W-40, Pack...

    I just purchased a 1.8t and the stealership put in 5w-30 and the manuel suggests 5w-40 full synthetic. Is it ok for me to goto a garage and get an oil change before I need one to change from the 30 weight to 40 weight? and is it ok to change it like that?

    Ive been using Shell Rotella 5w-40, but just switched to Mobil 1 Synthetic 5w-40 for Diesel/Truck. I know its prob. not under the VW 502 required oils or whatever, which isnt a big deal. But is it ok? I mean as long as its 5w-40 synthetic right?

    I already picked up some oil for my next change, but assuming this oil is ok for gas engines (which it should be, since it is VW 502 compliant, but the label implies it is more for diesels), this is a steal! World Impex has it on sale for $5/liter which is a steal, since most Motul oils are $8...

    $4.99 a quart for Valvoline's synthetic meeting VW Spec 502.00, 505.0 and 505.01 with formal OEM approval. Pretty good price for synth, what with Mobil 1 0w-40 running at over $7 a quart.

    I found from one of the Audi PDF's that Castrol 5w-30 is 502.00 specific (please see below)? I used this one on my last oil change with a Mobile filter. I got this for $29 (5 liter jug with filter) from AutoZone. With 5w-40 it would be roughly $50 which is same as firestone charges for full...

    I used this on my oil change last weekend. I had been using M1 0W40. Current mileage on the 2001 1.8T is 151K. Mobil 1 5W40 Turbo Truck Diesel

    I have been looking around for Mobil 1 5w-40 and the only thing I can find readily available is their 5W-40 Turbo Diesel truck oil. Has anyone else had experience using this oil in their V-6? Is this safe to use for our cars? Or should I keep looking? Thank you.

    Guys, I've read up allot about the oils that are cert. for VW. My question is for the 1.8t. I've been using the German Castrol (GC) 0w-30 but I'm wondering if it's too thin basically. Although it's heavier than the typical 30w my concern is the higher temps in the summer and that I'm pushing...

    When I visited RT-Mart (a super store like WalMart in US) in Taipei,Taiwan, these are the 5W-40 oils with VW 502 00/505 00 specs on the shelf: These are 0W-40 oils with VW 502 00/505 00 specs: I even saw Honda and Toyota oils: I am very interested in German Aral Super...

    Hey guys I am starting to amass supplies for my "new" '08 Komfort Wagon and am looking for a great place to buy the specified 5w-40 synthetic. Looking for oils at a decent price, in quantity, that meet the VW 502 00 specs. The stores around me like Wal-Mart, Autozone, do not seem to be able...

    Has anyone run Amsoil 5W40 in their 1.8Ts? I have used it in other vehicles and been pleased with the longer drain intervals, but not in my veedub. If you have used it, please let me know your experience: happy? How long did you run it for? Used with or without amsoil filter? Etc thanks for any...
