Gonna do my first change on the GFs TDI. So help me not mess this up. From what I have read I need a 507.00 spec. Looks like M1 ESP 5/30 will work, as well as Castrol Edge 5/30. I'm kinda partial to oil I can buy at Wal Mart. Any help appreciated.

NAPA has sale on Mobil1. If local NAPA does not carry M1 5W30 ESP they can order it for you. It is $5.99 per liter (it is killing deal).
You can go to Amazon and order M1 5W30 ESP, Pennzoil Platinul Euro etc. Any oil that meets VW 504.00/507.00 will do.
However, finding that oil in Wal Mart is impossible.

He can get that Castrol in VW dealership. It is nothing special and Castrol as usual is very shady with pds on this oil. From pds both Mobil1 5W30 ESP and Pennzoil Platinum Euro 5W30 are better oils.

Yep:
As said your best chances locally are the dealer, Napa or pep boys.
