I have rounded up all the candidates for my new 2013 Passat TDI Comfortline oil change. I am not saving much between any of these brands. The biggest difference is maybe $5. So it is up to the BEST oil to use for this engine. Also, all VW 504/507 oils are 5W30. Nevertheless, the candidates are:
1) Castrol SLX Professional LL03 - VW Dealership OEM oil
~$9.82 + tax per 1L
2) LiquiMoly TOP TEC 4200 - NAPA USA pick-up
~$45.99 + tax per 5L
3) Total Quartz INEO - Local EURO shop
~$45.99 + tax per 5L
4) Pennzoil Ultra Euro L 5W30 - Amazon purchase
~$45.85 + tax per 6Quart
5) Mobil 1 ESP 5W30 - Pepboys (most expensive and never on sale)
~$12.89 + tax per 1L
6) Pentosin Super Performance III - idparts.com
~$49.99 no tax but shipping ($10)
Also help me choose a filter (cartrige) with this engine:
1) MANN 03L115562 OEM FILTER - idparts ~$8.90
2) WIX 57262 AFTERMARKET - Rockauto ~$9.30
Thanks for your input. I will be stocking up on whatever is highest recommended upon. Except the Castrol, if that is the best oil for my purposes then I will just buy it as needed from my local dealer.
The car will be drivin something like 60% highway and 40% local. It is located in Southern Ontario in Toronto, Canada.
Thanks a bunch!
