I found out today from the fuel delivery guy for Casey's General Stores in the Metro East area, that the diesel fuel they sell in Madison, St Clair, Washington and Clinton counties are straight #2 diesel fuel only. He said they do not even carry bio-diesel. I am not sure if this was a change...

Here is my UOA on my 2010 Jetta TDI. The iron is still high, and I am starting to get concerned that it is a sign of trouble that may be looming. This UOA was done in Dec 2014 and I am now just getting around to posting it. I will be changing out my oil this week sometime and will get an...

Assuming that you are in Volo, IL you will encounter B11 not B5. The state of Illinois gives tax breaks to manufacturers and gas stations to sell B11 in order to increase sales/demand. The last that I had heard, V.W. had not given the blessing to B11 either, so look for non-biodiesel stations.

I truly hope that his absence is temporary in nature. His advice and friendliness are two of his qualities that will be missed. He was always there for anyone to share their concerns with and to offer sage advice and insight.

The only non-biodiesel that I have found has been in Mehlville Mo at the Shell station @ 4089 Telegraph Rd. So far, no luck in the Metro East area but I am still looking. It would be nice if some other folks knew of any in the area and posted them.

Amsoil 5W30 Euro, 2010 Jetta TDI, 9343 Miles Here is my latest UOA from my 2010 Jetta TDI. I was hoping that iron would drop, but no luck. I am still concerned by it being "elevated" even though Blackstone said no problem. This was my third run of Amsoil 5W30 Euro, and replaced it with more. I...

Amsoil 5W30 Euro (AELQT) 2010 Jetta, 8799 miles Here is my latest UOA on my 2010 Jetta TDI. I had been getting not so great UOA on the factory Castrol, so I switched over to Amsoil 5W30 Euro (AELQT) and have been going shorter runs than the 10K miles that VW says that it will do. This is my...

Latest UOA 2101 Jetta Here is my latest UOA from Blackstone labs. I shortened this run down to 6934 miles due to the results from my previous UAO. It seems better, and it may have been the collection methods used (dealer). I changed the oil this time to ensure a correct sample was obtained. I...

Cowgirl, Check your private messages, I sent you a link. Well worth the money for the info you get from the lab in my opinion.

TooSlick, I did not do the drain sample, it was done at the dealership. I do not know if they took the sample as soon as it drained or how they did it. They did say it was the first time anyone had wanted one, and I told the service manager to take it in mid drain, but he only writes the...

Iron too high? Here is my latest UOA from Blackstone labs. The run was mainly in town driving, and short trips. The iron is up and I am wondering if this level too high and something to be concerned about and maybe need to get a different vehicle in the near future? Any and all thoughts and...

I am hoping that there are plenty of other TDI owners in the metro St Louis area (both in Mo & IL) that we can get a list of stations that carry non-biodiesel fuel that the newer TDI's require. Also, a BIG thanks to Jetta09Chicago for starting the thread for the Chicago area, and who has a great...

Kudos to you Airstreamer!!! If your vehicle and skills permit it, I love it! It just shows what a good driver and good vehicle combo are capable of accomplishing. Like Ski pointed out, semi's carry way over 2X their weight and length, so don't let the nay sayers get to you. The old saying...

For those of you in the Terre Haute, In to Decatur IL area, The Sunshine Gas Station in Arcola Illinois has straight #2 diesel at their self-serve pumps. One more for us small town guys! :)

I have tried searching, so I will ask the good folks here if anyone has a late model 2009+ Jetta UOA using Amsoil? I am just curious as to how the results compare to the dealership Castrol LL that they sell/use for the free maintenance. I am thinking of trying a 5k run of Amsoil 5W40 Euro on my...

Thanks Bob. You da man!!! I can hardly wait to see the results of the VOA's. Who said Hoosiers are not generous...lol. J/K.

The station manager in Paris which gets the same delivery truck that serves Mattoon said it is 5%. B & C Auto in Oakland, Il 61943 has straight #2. Their truck is an FS delivery. Also, Hello neighbor. I grew up in Mattoon and worked there until a few years ago.

We got the car this past December, so it was around 6 months to reach 10K miles. Lots of short trips and cold weather here in Illinois this past winter.

VWThingguy's 2010 Jetta UOA Here is my used oil analysis of factory fill from my 2010 Jetta TDI. I hope this helps or maybe gives a confirmation to someone to compare with.

For those of us who don't have an owners manual (mine was lost prior to buying at it new at the dealership 3 months ago, and yet to get one. The dealership says VW only prints 1 per car and no extras...) what DOES it say about biodiesel? My tank says "Ultra Low Sulfur", no mention about straight...
