[Vwdiesel] TDI oil

[TexasTDI]

The only 5w-40 diesel oils that I know of are Redline, Mobil Delvac-1,
Chevron Delo, Shell Rotella T, Valvoline Premium Blue Extreme, and of course
Castrol Syntec.

Keep in mind that you don't absolutely have to use a 5w-40 oil.  Your TDI
won't blow up if you use a different viscosity.  I use Amsoil synthetic
15w-40 in both of my cars with absolutely no problems at all.
