Looks like they lowered calcium and added more magnesium. 6.99 a quart, found at any autozone, outperforms VAG oils easily... its a no brainer. This oil also seems to have a lot more boron than 507.00 oils.
Blackstone comments, oil filter works very well especially for 23,000 miles, oil was a bit thick (although they think its mobil truck and SUV), and try changing at 16,000 miles.
