Which oil is more appropriate for 2008 Jetta 2.5?

[FusionGuy37]

Anyone know which Elf oil is more appropriate for a 2008 Jetta 2.5 liter (aspirated).

Excellium NF 5W-40 (API SL/CF) or
Excellium DID 5W-40 (API SJ/CF)

I see that Excellium DID also works for diesel, in fact Elf specifically recommends the DID for TDI engines and is VW 505.01 approved, so I assumed NF was more appropriate for a non-diesel engine like mine.

To make it more simple, anything with 502 00 will do.
Both of the oils listed would do fine.

Trust me, once you start bouncing between oils it will give you a headache.
Choose one, any with 502 00, and you will be fine.

I changed the oil today in my 08 Rabbit 2.5 and used Pentosin 5w40.
