How much DEF do your cars consume per year?
The Oil club ru did a virgin oil analysis of Redline 5w30 euro and a used analysis, which looked really good. This one is a used oil analysis on an Audi. The second one is the virgin oil analysis. It seems to retain tbn well even if does start out lower.

Scratch that, upon some research I see that the Redline is now 507 approved....
I personally want to try the Revenol, hear its one of the best there is. Too bad it isn't widely available on a shelf. I hate mail ordering oils....

With the rampant misunderstanding of what constitutes an approval (or a license for that matter) it's almost to the point that owners should get some training on how to read an SDS before being allowed to take a car off site.
Red Line Professional-Series 5W30TD EURO Motor Oil is in fact VW 504 00 and 507 00 approved so it depends on which Red Line product is being discussed here. But at $44 for 5 quarts it is a somewhat more expensive alternative.

Kschachn is correct, this one is in FACT CERTIFIED to meet 507.00 VW spec for TDI and not too bad on price compared to the others either!

That Redline is mediocre oil. There are numerous better oils than this. This is rebadged Phillips66 oil.

Nevertheless it has VW approval and is entirely appropriate for use in those vehicles requiring the approval.

Sure, but one can find better products with same approvals.

I think you're confusing TDI with GDI and TGDI (turbo gasoline direct injection). As far as I know diesels in general usually can go longer on an oil change.
