at my local VW dealer at least! This stuff is NOT the american made **** of yore, nay, its is REAL Euro stuff and is in the Euro bottle. it is for the new VW diesel engines (spec. the passat TDi 2 litre 16valve engine) and is like $7 a quart.
now the downside. this looks to be HC oil as it is amber/brown in colour and is in the TXT SofTec Plus bottle. verbatim, except for the labelling having diesel all over it. I assum its a group III oil as the 5w-30 TXT Soft Tec Plus is. Who knows though. Whats interesting is that VW dealers now are FORCED to use this new oil in ANY oil change for the new diesel engines!
Finally, a manufactuer is taking up the issue of dealers using **** oil for cheap changes.
Talk amongst yourselves......
