Back in 2014ish, when I had a TDI, I used Euro L. It was 504/507 approved, so perfect. As I look for a moderately priced, low SAP, decent NOACK oil, I thought that maybe this would be a good choice.
Then...realized NO VW approvals. Zero. Any news I missed? Looks like the only Pennzoil Approved, lower SAP oils are AV. AV doesn’t look too impressive on paper, so I am shying away
Interesting that L carries the LL-04 rating, as well as MB 229.31 and 229.51. I thought these specs were more stringent that VW specs.
Perhaps Pennzoil just didn’t want pay for certification due to TDIs no longer being produced?
Would love to use this, and feel pretty confident doing so, but wanted to see if anyone had any color on this.
Thanks.
