The bigger issue is not just the cat, but the whole multi-thousand dollar emissions system of the Clean Diesel TDIs. Well, that could be a problem. How sticky has VW been on the issue? Are they actually supplying warranty-specified oils in their service plans? A few year back, VW of North America was not.

Indeed, just like it has been for some years now, some dealers do, some don't. What actual impact that has on the engine and emissions systems, I don't know. That would take years for someone to find out.

Are any of the Royal Purples speced for VW TDIs? A buddy has one, I believe a 2005 vintage, and he's been curious. I haven't come across anything.

I'd go to Pep Boys and get the Mobil 1 ESP Formula M 5w40. I personally don't cotton to using 5w30 in diesels. While the M1ESPFM isn't technically 507.00 rated, it is MB 229.51 rated which IMO is certainly good enough. The OP asked for advice, your's is the best advice in this thread. During the warranty period, MAYBE the 5w30 ESP Formula, but the 5w40 ESP Formula M would be my first choice too.

Re DEO vs 507: 507 is based on ACEA C3. Which not only specifies ash <0.8% but P between 700 and 900ppm. DEO is a CJ4 oil and is likely close to 1200ppm, with ash up to 1.0%. Mercedes in page 223.2 of http://bevo.mercedes-benz.com/bevolistenmain.php?session_id=&navigation_path=&language_id=1allow use of 228.51 oils but not 228.31 in DPF equipped vehicles. What's the difference? 228.31 is essentially CJ4 and allows P up to 1200ppm. Whereas 228.51 allows only 800ppm P. Too much P will poison catalysts more quickly. DEO fails in 2 key aspects for this application. I wouldn't use it unless you are fond of replacing precious metal containing catalysts and the DPF more quickly than necessary. Charlie Charlie, Thanks for this information. I have a new direction in which to focus my CJ4 studies. Cheers

Of course you have info from XM that they gave to you telling you this, right? Well you can look at their MSDS sheets. They say synthetic base oils and additives (US and German). The MSDS for Germany mentions POLYOLEFIN POLYAMINE SUCCINIMID in 1-5% concentrations but I'm not sure if that's an PAO additive or PAO base. Germany used to have a regulation regarding the naming oils as synthetic (Gr IV/V only) but I don't know if that's still the case. The MSDS can be useful sometimes. For example I've seen revisions of the MSDS for Total Ineo MC3 5w-30. Over the years the base went from GR III to PAO and back to GR III (most recent). However Base Stocks aren't supposed to matter right??!

Sometimes the results are confusing such as this case, but here is one result discussing this chemical: http://www.sumobrain.com/patents/wipo/Engine-lubricant-with-high-sulfur/WO2002077133.html

I have found through VOA, that the Total Ineo 507 does have a slightly higher TBN than Castrol Professional SLX LL03
Pretty, from what I have found, all Low SAPS 507 oils are Group III

I have received my supply of Delvac 1 LE 5W30 from Europe. It is ACEA E6/E4/E7 rated, also 228.5/51. <0.3% S, <800ppm P, 1.0% ash. I am going to try it in an 09 BMW X5 35d (LL04) and an 09 VW Jetta TDI (507). One big advantage over ACEA C3 oils: TBN = 12.6 http://www.mobil.com/Italy-English/Lubes/PDS/glxxencvlmomobil_delvac_1_le_5w-30.pdfCharlie
