help wrong oil in TDI

[angeniang]

i did a big mistake
i have changed Castrol Edge Engine Oil - 5w-40 in my 9000KM GOLF2.0tdi yesterday and have run about 400km

i refill oil with VW 507 standard today

do i need go to dealer to check the car, i feel the engine noisy not like before, i worry about the DPF is damage.

anyone can give some advise to me?

[Umai Naa!!]

If you have replaced the oil with the correct one, you should be ok.

There isn't much else you can do.

Any effect on the engine and its emissions systems will most likely be very minimal, if any.

Probably should have changed the filter as well Too late now though

I agree , too late know. The oil filter can hold up to 0.7L if you suck the oil out from the o.filter housing as well. Going to the dealer would just give them an excuse to void your warranty on the emission system, mainly the DPF. So, I suggest you don't tell them.

Last place I would take it.
Was done to one of mine last service Found out after it had run 40km

Solution Took other car bought correct oil and new filter and sump plug Took it 5 k to a local garage who changed it over for me.

You shouldnt really mix different oils so drain all of whats in there and put ALL correct stuff. A 5L of Penrite Enviro+ 5w 30 was $69 at Super cheap a couple of weeks ago They may still have it otherwise Castrol correct one is about $83 and filter $26-$32 Sump plug $4

Just forget it — you've done the right thing and the short time you had the wrong oil in isn't likely to affect the service life of your engine, so why upset yourself for nothing.

forget it back to work

make money get new one before warranty due hahahhaha
