There is at least Mobil 1 ESP 5W30, maybe others?

Link to the newest vw approved oil list I could find. Mobile is on there in several categories.

Thanks for that. Does mobile1 have a 507 rated oil? Spent the last couple of weeks here in podunk southern NM looking to no avail.

I just used my google-foo and found 5W-30 ESP. That appears to be 507 rated?
If your 2014 Jetta TDI has a particulate filter, then the 5w30 ESP should work just fine. If you've hit a big pothole and your DPF fell off, then the 5w40 would be better.

Mobil has a $7/gallon rebate from April 1 to May 31, 2023, but unfortunately a limit of only two gallons.

https://acbincentives.com/mobildelvac/terms.asp?Rebates

Fleet Farm has gallons for $30.99/gallon -- so $23.99 after rebate.
Forgive me, I have been out of the ALH world for quite some time... is Mobile Delvac 1 ESP 5w40 acceptable for an ALH? I ask because TDT is NOT on the rebate list.

I had previously only ran M1 TDT or Rotella T6 in my ALH. I sold that ALH (regrets), have a BEW that I run Schaeffer's in but bought another ALH recently.

The specs for Delvac 1 ESP 5w40 are almost identical to Mobil Turbo Diesel Truck. Some might say Delvac 1 is slightly better, but if so it's by a slight margin.

I wanted to follow up on this. Currently Napa has Delvac 1 ESP 5w40 for $26/gal. Then compound that with the $7/gal rebate and it comes out to $19/gal before tax! I bought 2 gallons today and my rebate for $14 is already approved.

Currently $10.33 per 5-liter jug and $2.23 per 1-liter bottle at Advance Auto Parts (and Carquest) for VW 507 spec engine oil.

"Total Quartz 5W30 C3 LL Full Synthetic Motor Oil" is on clearance. The part numbers are 220059 for the 5-liter jug and 220058 for the 1-liter bottle. The clearance price shows up at the register upon checkout. However the prices on the shelf, in their cellphone app, and at their website do not reflect the clearance prices. Check the inventory of a store before driving over. Verify each jug and/or bottle says VW 507 on the back label.

Bonus. They have a loyalty program called SpeedPerks that awards $5 store credit per $50 merchandise purchased. This includes clearance merchandise. The credit is available very quickly, usually the next day.

The price is double that at the closest store to me that has any in stock, but still a good deal. Thanks for the tip!!!

There was an Advance Auto (edit: not AutoZone) next to the hardware store, so I stopped in. My experience: 5L jug marked $40-something on the shelf, but "price checked" at $20-something at the register, and revealed to be $10.33 on the register screen as a "purchase price." They only had a single of the LL, but quite a bit of the other flavors.

In Kingston, NY, which has another AApts which I didn't go to after cleaning out the one at Albany Avenue....

What a lovely steal: the counter guy was gobsmacked at the final price. I got:
  • 2 5quart jugs of 5W30 Ineo Long Life ( VW504.00/507.00) $10.33 @
  • 1 5 quart jug of 5W40 9000 Energy (VW503.00/505.00) $12.33
  • 2 5quart jugs of 5W30 Ineo MC3 (VW505.01) $9.18 @
Plus 2 quart jugs for under the hood, Ineo MC3 and LongLife $2@

As David said, the price on the website and the shelf doesn't reflect the super discount. Take the oil to the register and check.

For my '03 ALH engine with 305K on the odometer, so I don't have to have 507, SWEET, Thank YOU, Diesel David!

Got a $5 Rapid Rewards coupon for my previous purchase so went back of the other AApts in Kingston and got another jug of Ineo LongLife for $6.

***update - picked some more up at the Roseville, MN store. They should still have single liters available but the 5 liters are gone


Picked up the last 3 5 quart jugs at the Richfield, MN AA store. Thanks much, absolutely fantastic price!

For anyone interested, they still had liters of the 505 but out of the 507 unless my worker missed some.

Something about a $20 digital gift card. Also a chance to win some snowmobile, if you’re into that.
