[Vwdiesel] New oil standards for TDI PD motor, VW 505.01

[82 Diesel Westy]

Thanks all, I think we can put the 505.01 oil thread
to bed.  I like the oil extractor and figured that pan
cover needed to be removed to change oil.  I just got
whopped $52 for 5 qts of Castrol 505.01 and a filter.
I will order a case of MANN filters and get the oil
from Hayden's lead.

Thanks all.
