    Not sure I want to use OEM approved oil

    Thanks for reply. Probably I wasn`t clear enough. I was referring (in Europe) of specification like FIAT 9.55535-S1, FCA 9.55535-N2 etc. http://fiatprofessional.mopar.eu/fiatprofessional/za/en/parts/oil-functional-fluids The uniqueness and originality of Petronas Selenia products is...

    Not sure I want to use OEM approved oil

    In Europe? Yes for VW approved oil (3000 euros), but e.g. for PSA (Peugeot/Citroen) it was 70,000 euros (83,000 $), according the folowing document https://www.ueil.org/wp-content/uploads/UEILTechnicalBulletin_July10.pdf For e.g. FIAT - no one (can) have approval except Petronas/Selenia.

    Thanks for the reply, I hope my comment is not too redundant (i didnt saw his comment). Someone who was misinformed probably thought that Total was Russian cause of VOA in russian language. Anyway, now its clear.

    Volvo ACEA A5/B5 vs. VW 504.00/ 507.00

    If I recording well, PSA (Peugeot/Citroen) states 180,000 km for the life of DPF The real problem (with this engine 1,6 HDi/TDCi + DPF) could be repeated active regeneration of DPF, when dpf is allready clogged, hence possible significant oil/fuel dilution in combination with thin oil like ACEA...
