Hi lads,

My Audi A4 1.9 TDI 130 (AWX) is due a service soon.

I went into the local motor factors for a 5L can of Oil and was given this. I was assured it was great quality oil and definitely suitable for my Audi.

I'd just like some opinions / peace of mind from you lot here before I go ahead with changing the oil as i'm feeling a bit skeptical regarding its suitability.

Here is a link to the exact oil I was given:

great quality doesn't mean that great quality jet fuel will be suitable for your car

For diesels PD type most important is to have "VAG standard" oil (in shops they are suggesting as 505.01-fixed intervals, 506.01-flexible intervals, 507-for R5&V10 as they have geared timing). Someone mentioned DPF influence.
People talk a lot about these standards, different oil manufacturers in different countries provide different opinion about they interchangeability.
Best source to check is TDIclub. Anyway, I stayed with 505.01 for mine AWX after some reading long time ago.
