Thanks for that. Does mobile1 have a 507 rated oil? Spent the last couple of weeks here in podunk southern NM looking to no avail.

I just used my google-foo and found 5W-30 ESP. That appears to be 507 rated?

If your 2014 Jetta TDI has a particulate filter, then the 5w30 ESP should work just fine. If you've hit a big pothole and your DPF fell off, then the 5w40 would be better.

Ya, TR I still got my DPF so I found 5W-30 ESP at Auto Zone. Waiting on 4/1 now.

Thanks again for the info

Mobil has a $7/gallon rebate from April 1 to May 31, 2023, but unfortunately a limit of only two gallons.

Fleet Farm has gallons for $30.99/gallon -- so $23.99 after rebate.

Forgive me, I have been out of the ALH world for quite some time... is Mobile Delvac 1 ESP 5w40 acceptable for an ALH? I ask because TDT is NOT on the rebate list.

I had previously only ran M1 TDT or Rotella T6 in my ALH. I sold that ALH (regrets), have a BEW that I run Schaeffer's in but bought another ALH recently.

The specs for Delvac 1 ESP 5w40 are almost identical to Mobil Turbo Diesel Truck. Some might say Delvac 1 is slightly better, but if so it's by a slight margin.

I wanted to follow up on this. Currently Napa has Delvac 1 ESP 5w40 for $26/gal. Then compound that with the $7/gal rebate and it comes out to $19/gal before tax! I bought 2 gallons today and my rebate for $14 is already approved.
