You better read your owners manual. All new VW's require European Spec 505.1, no substitutes! I run Amsoil 505.1 European oil in my 05 VW Jetta TDI with 10,000 mile oil change intervals and the oil is still brown when I take it in. By the way My wife has put 50,000 miles on the car since Oct. 07 adding up to a total of 98,ooo miles on the car.
