Any one know if i can use the mobil one diesel truck oil for my 2010 tdi wagon??
Dealer, mail order, local auto parts stores can sometimes order it.ok thanks i cant find 507 so ??
i found online near near me at ,pep boys Mobil Delvac 1 ESP 5W-40 Delvac ESP Synthetic Diesel Motor Oil(GAL)
Sorry to be picky but actually .6/.4 is 50% more so 5-40 FM is not 507.00!!! How soon we forget or are fooled. Toolslick and Bob you better clarify this.Mobil Delvac 1/ESP actually has 67% higher ash than a typical VW 507.00 formulation:
(.4%/.6%)(100%) = 67%

Devlac 1 ESP 5w40 is CJ-4, 1% ashSorry to be picky but actually .6/.4 is 50% more so 5-40 FM is not 507.00!!! How soon we forget or are fooled. Toolslick and Bob you better clarify this.
+1 on the math and LOL at the parenthetical statementAs shown above 1.67 = 167%, or 67% higher ash for the Mobil Delvac 1/ESP, or any other API/CJ-4 Spec diesel oil. If you were looking at it the other way (.4%/1.0%), you could also say that a VW 507.00 oil has 40% less ash - compared to an API/CJ-4 oil. The two statements convey the same exact data.
(This is why we need more math teachers and fewer lawyers). :-(

Devlac 1 ESP 5w40 is CJ-4, 1% ash
Mobil 1 ESP FM 5w40 is 229.5, 0.6% ash
Mobil 1 ESP 5w30 is 507.00, 0.6% ash
(1/0.6) = 1.67
YEAH. MB229.515-40 FM is not 507.00!!!
The widely/worldly popular Mobil 1 0w40 is 1.3%An older, VW 502.00/505.00 oil can have up to 1.5% ash, although most come in a bit lower.

Yes, OCI and thanks! I'll miss my 15-18k OCI's but I'll continue having UOA done to make sure everything is in order.Mileage on the oil? 10K.
Does anyone actually have any UOA data that would indicate a VW507 oil would not protect a tdi CR engine as well as a 5W40?I just moved into a 2009 Jetta TDI from a 2006 and the Devlac 1 ESP 5w40 was the oil of choice in my 2006 and I had EXCELLENT results with it and extended OCI's. Looks like I'll change it up to the Mobil 1 ESP FM 5w40 and see how that oil holds up. ...
