I use Amsoil Signature series Max Duty 5w30 in my 2015 Golf. The DOHC engines experience no problems with a 5w30, so why not use the thinner oil and experience the slight gain in fuel economy?

15W-50. I disconnected the fuel-cut solenoid during cranking prior to first start until I had full oil pressure and oil coming from disconnected turbo oil drain. Then I buttoned everything up and started the engine.

Get an engine support cradle that supports the engine via chains from above. Rubber feet engage hood to fender channel. Works well. Harbor Freight sells them. I have used mine many times.

Yes, same instructions for CRUA. I have replaced a belt on the CVCA Passat. Pretty straightforward with proper tools. Placement of the DEF piping makes access to the timing cover quite awkward. That is the only complaint I had.

I'm on my second EA288, first a Passat, now a Golf. 5W30 CK4 Signature Series Amsoil in both. No issues over many miles and it is delivered to my door. Hassle free.

Winterized diesel fuel is supposed to mean fuel with a lowered CFPP and gel point via anti-gel additives. These additives shouldn't effect fuel energy content. Winter blend diesel fuel has #1 diesel added in some quantity. This is a reliable way to lower CFPP and gel point, but does reduce the...

It has been quite a while. 8 TDI cars later, I'm still here!

I am in Lovell. Will be passing through Rock Springs sometimes on my way to see family in Utah.

I feel for you. Going through my second (and last) divorce at present. I will never live with a woman again.

Free bump. I should have family members that will be interested.

You endeavor weakly to entertain. I won't play along. VW demonstrated how deep their corporate knowledge went in the lubrication arena when they came out with PD engines AND the silly 505.01 oil spec. The suggestion that a thin 30 weight oil could keep those silly, narrow cam lobes from...

I don't use 504/507. The question is irrelevant since I gave him capacities in both liters and quarts.

Thanks for the lesson. If you read my unedited post, you will find that it begins with "5.7 liters". Additionally, the OP is from Iowa and is likely comfortable with quarts, which remain very common when it comes to oil containers in the heartland of the USA.

Or, you could heed the advice already given by someone that actually has a EA288 powered car, and has completed 11 oil changes while owning it. For some mysterious reason, it takes six quarts every time.

5.7 liters or around 6 quarts in mine.

Made my day. Thanks.

franko6 has used rods. He can fix you up.

Anyone that has changed filters in these cars is aware that the filter media hangs in the canister below a lip at the top of the filter. As long as the lip area is the same there is no problem. You made a post critical of my actions without knowing the facts. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

Flying off the handle again even though you have no clue. The 1" difference in length is in the filter media length. The tops of both filters are identical. If you had both of them side-by-side, like I did, you wouldn't jump to conclusions. Substituting this filter in a '15 presents no problem.
