Liqui Moly TopTec 4200 is probably the best oil you could buy but at $109+ I would rather change Castrol EDGE FST twice per year for the same amount. My opinion at leastQuote:

Noone mentioned Nulon or Valveline. I assume these are not as good?
Only one Nulon oil is APPROVED for VW and its a 5w 30 504/507.Quote:

Look on the labels
Valvoline SynPower XLIII is apparently approved.
My appologies on the Castrol FST advice.
what makes you think the FST 5w30 is not suitable for DPF? Are you sure you picked the correct one
Castrol Edge Diesel DPF Engine Oil - 5W-30, 5 Litre - Supercheap Auto Australia
sounds like you picked up the wrong one like this one... take note of the different shape bottle. The one ive put in the post above is 504.00 507.00 approved oil and is suitable for cars with dpf. The one in this link is not the correct oil

Here is another 504.00 507.00 VW approved oil suitable for dpf which is on special for a very attractive price
