One thing that I noticed in this article is that the iron wear rates per 1000 miles vary over a wider range for the 1.9L TDI engine than for other engines that they used as examples. They were trying to argue that oil brand doesn't matter. But I think they showed that oil brand possibly does matter more for the 1.9L TDI engines than the other engine examples.
I assume the table and chart include both PD and VE engines lumped together so it would be interesting to see the data further separated by year of engine.
