    help wrong oil in TDI

    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?

    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.

    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.
