Re: Stupid Question
That's got markers too.

Re: Stupid Question
Just buy a good brand oil Shell, Castrol, mobile which is
approved under VW 507.00. (Longlife 3)
And read on the description that the oil can be used with a diesel partikel filter.
I use 5W30 on my car and it's on longlife interval. I wouldn't buy it at a petrol station very expensive.
Best is to order large quantity, the cheaper it is.
Also measure the oil level when the oil is cold and engine is not running.
