This unit is a canister setup with a cartridge filter element and there is no water drain on it. I have drained the Jeep's fuel water seperator and there was not water in it. I fuel the Jetta from the same place. Also the fuel sample from the Jetta showed no visible water. I'll see what the...
My Jeep CRD gets half the fuel economy of my Jetta so it goes through twice as much fuel and would have seen a problem IF it was fuel related. They are saying the filter is "Bad" because of the fuel. Well, if the filter was bad, the engine would miss under load or at higher RPMs. That's why I...
Greetings,
I’m having a problem with my Volkswagen and my dealer says that he is being told by VWOA that it is a fuel quality issue that is causing the fuel filter to go bad. Let me give you all some background on this issue. The car is a 2005.5 Jetta 5 speed diesel with a little over 12k on...
Well it's not on your list, but the new Nissan Quest is a great vehicle and it comes with the optional DVD entertainment system to keep the little ones occupied along with a Navigation sustem so you don't get lost. It will even fit a 4x8 sheet of plywood.
On the back of the Elf CRV bottle it just lists 503.00/506.00/506/01 - it does not say "approved" anywhere on the bottle. How ever on their data sheet is specifically states "OEM Approvals"
I did find this VW list of approved oils...
I generally change my own oil. There have been a few occasions when I let some one else do it - like when I was living in an apartment while our house was being built. For the most part, I do my own oil changes. I sleep better because of it!
Since it is a diesel oil, I would prefer it to the 0W-40 Mobil 1. I did use 0W-40 Mobil 1 on the last oil change simply because all the local Wall-of-China-Marts were out of the 5 quart jugs of Truck & SUV.
Wavinwayne,
Looking at my CRD manual it syas:
"the manufcaturer recommends using synthetic engine oils that are API certified (SL/CF), and meet the requirements of DaimlerChrysler Material Standard MS-10725.
Engine Oil Viscosity (2.8L Diesel Engines)
Use SAE 0W-40 Mobil 1 Synthetic Engine Oil...
OK great wise purveyors of the green elixir, I have a question. We just bought a Jeep Liberty CRD but there was no owners manuals. After a little bit of searching I found out that Jeep is recommending Mobil 1 0W40 or 5W40. I think the engine is made in Europe by Motiv? What I was wondering was...
