Hey everyonne

I'm new to the forum and to driving a VW and to driving a diesel..

My question is what oil do you guys put in the tdi's?
I heard lots of rumours about oil, some say nah normal oil some say it needs full synthetic oil some say half synthetic!!!!

Please help me I need to do a minor service now.

Easy. You have diesel? Yes, follow the arrow. You have PDF? You doing extended mileage between services = long life? You have PD engine? etc.

DPF Diesel Particle Filter

Ooooo ok
Is that like a filter that needs to be changed once in a while?

What's your engine code? First 4 letters only?

No, DPF is part of the exhaust system and needs to go through a regeneration process every so often to clear it out. All for emissions regulations.
