You had to mail order it? No PepBoys around?

No Pepboys around. Ordered from Avlube in Ohio. (They were also the first to have this oil in the US, imported from Europe in 2007)

Hope the TBN holds for your application...

We'll find out. Based on TBN at 10K miles with TDT/D1 ESP/M1 0w40 and DEO, I should be OK. A sample at 5K miles will be done as usual and the interval assessed.
Just a thought....
You could do a couple of samples because with these lowers SAPS oils, they seem to drop TBN quickly and then stabilize. You may not think it will hold up due to the initial drop, unless you check progression...

Thanks for the tip, perhaps 5K, 7.5K.

Good luck. Seems like the right choice for TDI.

5k and 7.5k is prudent. Our gasser application has roughly double the sulfur and half the fuel economy, so simplest estimate is just that... Youll do 10k OK and it should be proven at those sample intervals.

Looking forward to your UOAs. I have 18 liters of ESP in my garage. I have run Delvac 1, T&SUV (old formulation), TDT, Castrol 5w-40 and I think a run or two of Rotella T and the ESP 5w30 is what I plan to stick with.
Ever notice how they even dye the oil green (green labels, green caps)? too funny imo.
Werkstadt oils are dyed green to insure the proper product is used.
