I just bought an 03 VW Golf TDI ( Turbo charged Direct Injected diesel powered car) last week.
I could have done the Honda Civic thing for a daily commuter. But these TDIs are a kick in the butt to drive.
I'm still breaking it in so did not push it past 100 mph yesterday. But it still had quite a bit of peddle left.
Back to my question:
VW calls for a 5w-40 or 5w-30 oil that meets the following specification:
API CF-4 or CH-4 wonder why they did just say CH-4?
ACEA B3 or B4.
VW 505.00
Right now I'm considering these oils.
Delvac 1 5w-40
Valvoline Blue Extreme 5w-40
John Deere 0w-40
Castrol Elixon 5w-30
Chevron Delo 400 5w-40
Redline 5w-40
Royal Purple 15w-40
Schaeffers 15w-40
Shell Rotella 5w-40
Any other oils I should look at?
What should I look for in oil for a turbo charged diesel engine?
