    Amsoil In this Thread only

    That is the Amsoil product that they suggest for 504.00/507.00 applications. If you have an affordable venue for purchase then run with it.

    VW Long Life III 5W-30 vs Castrol Edge Professional 5W30

    The Long Life III oil is a VW 504/507 rated low/mid SAPS product intended for use in vehicles that require an oil with low metallic content. This is to preserve the exhaust emissions systems. The Castrol Edge Professional is a VW 502/505 rated mid/high SAPS product that is intended for vehicles...

    "507, 505, Amsoil, blah blah blah"....but what VISCOSITY?

    Reviewing the technical data on the Amsoil AEL makes it appear to be more aligned with a VW 505.01 oil than a 507.00 oil. The asterisk on their data sheet also leads to the belief that it isn't carrying formal approval.

    Interesting conversation

    I had to show my specialist how to start a car with a manual gearbox. She didn't have a clue how to operate it.

    Reporting sale to VW after buyback?

    I'm sure everyone is reporting the sale of their vehicle. Everyone should cancel the vehicle registration and then their insurance to save themselves money and headache down the road. I am certain that it varies from state to state but in Georgia the license plate remains with the owner. When...

    Cancelling SiriusXM - Another Buyback Related Hassle

    This is precisely why I never activated my Sirius/XM after the trial expired. That company has issues.

    Good Work VW!

    My return went off without a hitch. I submitted my paperwork, got approval and offer in a short manner, set up my drop-off date and time, returned car to VW and three days later had my money deposited in my bank acct. I was a bit nervous about the EFT and tried to change it to receive a check...

    Missing my TDI

    I turned my Jetta in last night and I didn't sleep a wink. It was a sad day. I have had a VW in my garage for the past 30 years. I know one will follow me home some day but for now I feel empty.

    Anyone turn in vehicle with no registration/plates

    I turned my vehicle back in with no tags on it. I removed them before I drove over to the dealership. They never asked, never checked, and didn't care about them. The took my title, had me sign the power of attorney and that was it. I didn't even sign my title. That was the purpose of having...

    Is this a good deal -- $20,586 OTD for Passat R-line?

    What was the original sticker on the CC? My local dealer has $8,000 off on the CC but that still puts it a $29,000. I'd jump on one if it were and R-Line for $20,000. Does it come with a DSG or manual gearbox? What about other options? Ooops, I just realized that your comment was about a...

    Just about the worst documents handling

    Don't worry, they'll hang up on you in short order and you'll get to roll your dice with another call center member. I think this is VW's revenge on us.

    Buyback COMPLETED Car is now in Dealership Lot

    I chuckled when I read this. This entire fiasco is driven by Volkswagen's desire to defraud the consumer. I seriously doubt their moral high ground is much above sea level. They took every step to ensure their equity in this transaction while sending the vehicle owner home with a promissory note.

    EFT Transfer

    At this point I'm changing to have the check handed over. I had initially opted for EFT but I'm not trusting my bank acct info to VW OR Chase bank or some unsecured e-mail acct. Once the title is gone the vehicle is gone. They have power of attorney, the title, the keys, the car... they've...

    Anyone get paid?

    You should read the dieselgate topic. The process is in full swing. Paperwork is approved, offers are accepted, return dates are scheduled, etc. I haven't read of anyone getting their payment yet but I am personally scheduled for Dec. 13 for my drop-off date. I elected the EFT (electronic fund...

    $500 Dealership Goodwill Card for $380

    This thing expires in a few days. It would be wise to go to a dealership and buy $500 worth of oil that you can use in any vehicle that you're ever going to own. Don't let this thing expire without at least getting some oil, anti-freeze, a ball cap,, something!

    oil spec

    While I've never owned a PD TDI I have watched the progressions of cam wear and oil flavors come and go on here. It seems, just from observation, that when VW went to 5W-30 for their 505.01 that the cam and lifter wear showed up. I don't know if that is just circumstantial with time and mileage...

    oil spec

    It doesn't carry the specification but it is actually a very good oil to use in a PD TDI.

    oil spec

    The LL03 is for the common rail engine ('09 and newer). The Professional OE (should be in 5W-40) is for the 505.01 and also available from a dealership. Any brand of oil that meets VW 505.01 and is preferably a 5W-40 will work well in your car. I think Valvoline sells their 5W-40 SynPower MST...
