Had my 40K service done today on our 2011 TDI Sportwagen. Drained the oil, then realized the mechanic had the wrong oil on hand. Castrol Edge (formerly Syntec) SAE5W30 in the black 5 quarts jug....Looking at a VW Spec. oil chart Castrol Edge is listed as 507.00 certified. Well, it appears that is only for the oil they market in Europe under the exact same brand name...Called everywhere and couldn't find any 507 approved oil ANYWHERE nearby.
Liqui Moly 5W30 has been ordered and will be put in the engine on Monday afternoon. Yikes. Hopefully a weekend of light driving won't hurt things too badly. Not having luck with oil for this car. Opinions?
On the bright side, we now know which oil to put in it from here on out.
What a day...
