Motul 300V 5W30 - VAG disel engines

[DS9]

Oh, you made my day.

Are you like, a crazy person?

If you are not worried about damaging your DPF then go for the 5w-40 VW505.01 oil and change it every 5000 miles.

It doesn't appear your too interested in oil opinions but my curiosity got the better of me as to whether or not Schaeffers is available in Europe, and it certainly is.

doesn't look like any of their products are suitable for vag diesel engines though...

Never mind (and don`t bother).

Recent TDI, removed DPF (505.01), "Colin McRae" style, ULSD - whatever

If your referring to Schaeffers, the 9000 5w40 meets VW 502,505, and 505.1.

The racing 5w50 meets 501.01,502, and 505. Most who have the need for a true racing oil are not very concerned about whether or not it meets specs, as they are likely dealing with a highly modified engine.

Ah ok, I had a look at website you posted but couldn't see any mention of them.

To be honest it would be hard to find a better race oil than the PAO/Ester blends of Motul and Fuchs/Silkolene.
