VW Approved oils.
To all people interested in TDi PD engine oils discussion.
Please note, that some posts here refer to "erwin manual" for which oils are factory approved. I think it is important to be sure that the oil you buy from your local parts store is VW factory approved and not just recommended by the brand which is on the container you buy oil in.
I'm not quaite sure that "Penrite HPR5 Diesel" for example is approved by VW factory.
Please note: "Recommended for VW 506.01".
Q. By Whom?
A. Penrite.
I can see a problem there if your engine fail within the warranty period.
I buy Castrol TXT Longlife 2 from the dealer and keep the invoice.
