What oil are VW dealers putting in your TDI engine?

[Hillbilly]

SUPERCHEAP are selling Penrite ENVIRO+ 5w -30 which is 504/507 VW approved at $69.95 ATM

If you are not sure .....VW approved comes with the approval letter from the factory...I have copies for the Luiqi moly oils we use for every model...play safe with oils as already said it can and will damage your engine if you use the incorrect oil...OIL"S AINT OIL"S

TopTec 4200 is what Liqui-Moly Australia stock, to cover 504/507.

About to take the plunge on a bulk order of it myself, once the last of my Castrol stock has cleared.

So. I went to my local VW to get the service interval changed to Long Life on my 2011 Polo TDi. ie let the car decide when it needs doing because of the amount of km's I'm doing.
The sevice guy couldn't do it because the software was locked.

Thats because Aussie cars are serviced on time or mileage Like 15000k or 1 year whichever comes first.

Longlife is not practiced here.

Says on the print in the boot that it is suitable and the service guy was keen, as I was, but no go.
I think that you are right though. I haven't heard of anyone who has done it, except for Transporter who was driving around the city and his car told him to get it serviced after about 6oookm or so. What I don't understand though is we all use the correct oil for long life servicing, but don't actually practice LLS. I get every service when due, which is roughly every 15weeks.

The receipt from the recent service of our TDi says 5W/40, just like it did last year
