What oil do I use? READ FIRST <---Click


This will be a multi part post that I will do my best to keep up to date based on what I find and tdiclub users provide.

For the time being non VW approved oils are not listed. If you want Amsoil, RedLine et al you should know where to get them from. This can be revisted based on feedback. Also several forum members do sell these products if interested.

Sources for VW Approved Motor Oil & Fluids (May or may not carry oil/fluid for your specific vehicle, check the posts below to verify specific oil availability)

Please keep this thread relevant. Post sources, corrections to errors or request for something to be added.


I do not intend this thread to be a discussion of what oil to use or why.


I will ask for this thread to be closed if it devolves into a discussion for or against a particular oil or fluid.

I just called a Carquest store and they said their Carquest Brand synthetic 5W30 is made by Valvoline and meets VW 507. Any known problems with this?

You will get better responses if you create your own thread.

Pertinent to this thread is that my local CarQuest only carries one 507 oil, Pentosin, and while the guys there are friendly they don't have a clue what 507 oil means or is or isn't.. If you get some of the house oil and it does have 507 approval on the label let me know so I can add it to the list. Thanks.

Yes it was rebranded by Castrol. The VW 507 list has both the old and new names, for now. I edited post #3, which is also where the VW list is linked.

I think that's the same 5W30 that Wally world sells for $29.97 a gallon :D

The one at my walmart is another edge product not the ll03. If it is the 507 approved version please post pictures and/ or product number so I can update the list.

Dealer says 5W-30 504/507

For my 2005 Passat TDI.

I am not sure I want to do that. I know 504/507 supersede 505 but I do not think it is as good a weight for this car.
They only carry Castrol LLC 5w-30 (504/507) made in austria the Castrol 505 they have is made in US.

I really rather use Pentosin High Performance 5W-40 to be honest. Thoughts?

I'm sticking with the dealership/VW recommended Castrol LLC 5w-30 (504/507). I'm thinking that this choice has a lot to do with the longevity of the diesel particulate filter irrespective of the regeneration burn offs.But there are others on this site with far more knowledge than I on the subject.

Some people really need to do some research, as this topic has been discussed, but the 507.00 is not for PD motors and the Mobil ESP says it I do believe, and the dealers are quite often wrong and 2005 does not have a DPF. They do have a 5w30 505.01, but it used to be 5w40 the sold, which many agree is much better (especially Oilhammer). But the Pentosin HP is fine, l think HP2 is also 505.01 Mobil 1 TDI has worked great for PD users too.

I am using:

Schaeffer- 9000 Supreme 9000™ 5W-40
Exceeds the current requirements for API CJ-4 and is versatile for use in 2007 and newer emission compliant engines utilizing heavy EGR and exhaust after-treatment devices. Recommended for use in older, non-EGR and off-highway diesel engines and mixed fleet applications.

(For Canadians) This past week I spoke with a representative of Shell/Pennzoil and she was confident that the PP Euro Ultra LX 0W30 would very shortly be available in Canada (the first 507.00 approved 0W30).

It seems that the real life stories are different somehow in North America (NA) than in Europe. The 507 oils have been around much longer in Europe than in NA. Also they have been used in PD TDIs much before being used in any TDI here in NA. Based on my research so far I have not found evidence of PD cams wide spread problems (premature failure) in Europe as it has been reported here in the US and Canada.

Could there be other reasons besides the oil? Fuel quality, weather, etc. ?

I used that one on my civic (5W-20) when I had it and it was wonderful! Now, I have a CR diesel, but they don't have a VW 507.00 approved oil yet. I am using their fuel additive! Schaeffer's make top notch stuff.

Is this oil still available or has it been renamed Pennzoil Platinum Euro L 5W-30 Full Synthetic Motor Oil. I have been ordering the Ultra from Amazon.com for my VW TDI. It seems to be no longer available on Amazon. The Ultra is still what the oil selector recommends on your web site.for my car.
