Re: OK whats better?hwy or non-hwy diesel and as for oil what is the best thing for tdi
Hiway diesel is taxed non-highway is not. Some off-road diesel contains extremely high levels of sulphur that require special oils to keep acidity under control be careful if your considering trying to use this stuff.
As far as what oil is best, millions of diesels can't be wrong, Delvac 1 5w40 full synthetic is all that is run in my families 3 TDI's. Not to mention Delvac 1 does not have to "imply" that is "may meet" but it actually does. Delvac 1 exceeds the API CH-4, ACEA B4 valve train wear tests, extended drain criteria and fully complies with the VW warranty specifications unlike "some" of the oils
.
If your simply looking for the best oil look no further than the Delvac 1. There is no doubt the oil works as advertised exceeding even my expectaions.
