Replying to: ndmike88 (Sep 11, 2009 11:15 am) I do not need to use the 507 stuff in my 2003 TDI so I am not paying that 11/L either.   I agree that you should look for the best deal you can... I suspect your dealer has MIS-priced that 507 stuff and is loosing about $5 per liter they sell. That $6.39 sure looks like the standard dealer-price for the lower-grade oil which is for the older TDIs.   ...that "clean diesel" oil (507.00) is normally VERY expensive

I have a 2008 2.5L Volkswagon Jetta, what kind of oil does it take from the store? (Just want to make sure I am buying the right oil) I have 5w30 full synethic oil made by Castrol I bought yesterday from Farm and Fleet- will that work?   Also, any recommendations where I could find an air filter for this car?

Replying to: nicole83 (Oct 25, 2009 8:43 am) Simply look for "VW 502.00" on the bottle of oil. If it does not say it... look for another oil.   BTW: Be aware that there are superceded VW-specs that may meet "VW 502.00" . For example "VW 505.00" meets "VW 502.00" spec ... but you will not find "VW 505.00" oil in WallyMart.   Perhaps it comes as a surprise to some folks... but European vehicles commonly specify unique oil which may not be readdly available in American auto-stores. I have been ordering my oil from TDI parts website for many years.
