Amsoil VW Approved European 5w40 is a great oil! Amsoil has a gurantee and no one esle can challenge that they are any better in quality or protection. Their oil was designed for long drain intervals and have superior protection.
I use Amsoil Heavy Duty Diesel marine and truck oil.. it's preety good.. should be TDI friendly.
AMSOIL was my race sponser, and I've used their products in all of my racers including the SC'd 2000 4Motion. That being said, I wouldn't recommend running any engine oil ; including high-grade synthetics, over 7000 miles.
i use amsoil 5w30 love it
I ran my 2K beetle for 21K miles on Amsoil 5-3o/5w-40 and milage went up 7% and started awsome when it was 0 degrees out . Now I have a 2005 Jetta and its next for the 5w-40 @ 5K oil change .
Mobil 1 0w-40 is approved by VW, Porsche, MB. If you don't mind the price, Redline 5w-40 is excellent for our 1.8T engines. From the oil analyses I've seen, Redline has shown a few \"Parts Per Million\" less in metal wear than Mobil 1 5w-30 or 0w-40. Redline has more Moly than most oils. But for me, a few PPM is insignificant over 7k-8k miles. I still use Mobil 1 though cause it's cheaper (Costco) and can be found anywhere.
AMSOIL is definately the best oil to buy, but its expensive and hard to find (unless you order it - amsoil.com).
i just did my first oil change with amsoil 5-40 European blend. i heard stories about mobil1 burning oil more than other synthetics.
AMSOIL oil and filter. I swear the butt-dyno gave me a few ponies after switching from Mobil.
I have 148k km of entusiastic driving w/Amsoil 5w30 Series 3000. The Ontario distributor actually rates this better than the Euro formula so I will keep using it.
