[Vwdiesel] Oil recommendations?

[TexasTDI]

VW originally recommended 20w-50 or 15w-40 back in 1981.

I recommend and use Amsoil 15w-40 full synthetic oil in both of my diesels.

Amsoil also offers a 15w-40 synthetic blend oil.

For the transmission I recommend Amsoil full synthetic AGT 80w-90 gear lube.
