Hey Gent's - Anyone using a newer ... Mobil1 FS X2 5W-50 weight oil in their Pumpe Duse 1.9l BRM diesel? The FS X2 formulary does not meet VW spec 505.01 however the oil does meet Porsche A40.
For oil shear attributes the Porsche spec's C30 & A40 are light years beyond VW spec., 505.01 IIRC. See Mobil spec's below..
The western Colorado summer temperatures are *90F + and above seasonally, May thru September.
Historically I've been using Valvoline (VV-966) SynPower MST 5W-40 w/ VW 505.01.
Adopting the 7K to 7.5K mile OCI (Original cam/lifters R&R @ 156K mi)
