I used ELF Excellium NF 5W40.
I personnally use Elf and love it, best oil I ever used so far.
ok i just did an oil change today. i put in Elf Excellium 10W50 Full Synthetic. anyways, the difference is awesome. much more free reving and "wanting to go faster" feeling. before oil change it felt tired and revs were lazy and engine had a 'fuzzy' sound when accelerating. anyways, all is good now
I use Elf, I switched over and won't go back.
Just started using it in my '03 3.0 (90K service). Elf 0W30. Notice a substantial increase in mileage! Hate the price, though...$13.95/litre CDN! And at 6.5 litres for the change...well, you get the picture.
That's just it.... I bet his iron levels were quite high on m1, just like everyone else is seeing.... which is why I switched to Elf.
I ended up buying the rotella t 5w40 stuff in the blue jug for like 16 bucks a gallon, my vr runs better and seams to like the stuff.
I am using Rotella T 5W 40 in my 1.6NA diesel and in my TDI. I have noticed no bad effects. The oil consumption is nil and there are no leaks, etc.
In my area, I always been able to find Shell Rotella T 5w40 synthetic motor oil. It's a Group III oil and is capable of 10K mile oil changes in the AHU/1Z/ALH TDI engines and should do fine for your TD.
i use the Elf Excellium DID 505.01-spec 5W40 in my non pd-tdi. no problems either.
