I have a 2001.5 VW Passat. I've been told only to buy 5w-40 synthetic. I don't recall it saying Heavey duty diesel before.Is this ok to use on my car

Use diesel oil in diesel engines only. The additives in the oil are different from that of motor oil for gasoline.

I personally don't own a diesel but have many friends who do and uses and swears by Rotella T6 5w-40. But I do own 4 different makes of automobiles, 2 Kia Amantis '06 & '07, a Buick Lucerne '08, and a 1982 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz, also a '09 Piaggiomp3 500 Scooter and a 1994 Yamaha Virago 1100 all of which uses Rotella T6 5w-40. I love it!!

This oil can be used for multiple purposes. Great for diesel, recreational vehicles, lawnmower, etc... wouldn't put it in something under warranty unless meets spec. May void it even though it probably exceeds the manufacturer. The Internet can steer you in the right direction and come to your own conclusion. For me 05 Ford 6.0 powerstroke diesel 150K still stronger than ever.

I have used it on A 2012 Passat, a 2010 Jetta, and on the Beetle with great success. I do not know if it will work on your model, but you can contact them first before buying it at www.roadico,com. Also, if you are in Los Angeles area, you are more than welcome to use itIf the CEL is on solid and it runs fine you have nothing to worry about. You will just be putting out a little more emissions. If the CEL is flashing and it is running like crap, then you should not drive it at all and have it towed to the dealer. Flashing CEL= bad Solid CEL= still driveable and a sensor issue. this is from http://www.clubtouareg.com/forums/f43/engine-light-is-on-arrgggghhhh-36370.html I have used it on A 2012 Passat, a 2010 Jetta, and on the Beetle with great success.

You shouldn't run anything but synthetic in your turbo model. 5w-40 is perfect. exactly what the dealer uses. you will gunk up the engine if you use conventional oil.

Yeah, as long as it can use 10w40. If switching to a full synthetic for the first time, the concern if that you will get leaky gaskets as the synthetic starts to clean out the build up that had been keeping them sealed. I didn't see any of this when I switched to full synthetic in my Suzuki DL1000 V-Strom. You might ask your local dealer if unsure.

I don't see why not but I would check with the manufacturer that it has a diesel rating.

Your owner's manual should list an ISO standard for the Diesel additive it requires. Matching that with the standard for this should confirm that it's the same fluid. I use this in an Audi in place of that manufacturer's own brand of diesel exhaust fluid.

Haven't used it in a diesel, but don't see why that would matter. It's purpose is to embed in the moving parts in the lower part of the engine. It has worked very well in my vintage Corvette. Had some minor piston slap on starting cold. That appears to be gone after adding XADO to crankcase.

Is not german VW genuine, but it's high quality, I bought one for my Jetta more than a year ago and it's still like day one, in my case I do recommend it.

This meets VW Oil Quality Standard VW 502 00, VW 504 00 and VW 507 00. This is from a Technical Bulletin which covers "All Model(s); 1997 - 2008; All Eng. Codes; All Trans. Codes; All VIN Ranges". I own a 2003 Jetta Sport Wagon TDI and found this VW Technical Bulletin online.

I only use it in gasoline engines but would not hesitate to use it in a diesel.. if engine is new make sure you use regular oil until first oil change.

I'm not sure if it would since the 2015 Passat uses a different engine in the TDI than previous years. Best thing to do would be contact your dealer's parts department and find out what part # they have for an oil filter. Then google that part # and see if it cross references to Mann's 719/7x part #. Mann doesn't have a listing yet for the 2015 Passat in their online catalog.

This is an important question and I would really appreciate a very direct answer. I was told by Cummins not to use a cleaner unless it is Diesel friendly --Is this product Diesel friendly ? Thank you carlson44@shaw.ca

Yes,I run Amsoil euro synthetic in my 2.0t vw along with a bottle of this magical liquid! Great product!

Should be. DEF is Diesel Exhaust Fluid. To confirm, check the specs in your Owners Manual and the Specs on Blue Def. I believe you will find they are the same. Just go through the confirmation step.

i have a vw jetta 2.0 fsi so i am not using these stuff for filter oil change. i have to change the cartrige only.

Have VW 2.0T. Used Castrol 5-40 Edge since new. 110,000 miles. No problem. Probably what Audi calls for. If not sure, call Audi Customer Care 800 number to check.

Not sure. But it is the oil that my 2000 Jetta GLS says to use in the manual. I would look in the manual just to make sure. It tells you exactly which oil to use and this oil even says on the outside of it that is specially formulated for VW vehicles. So I think it will work but I can't be absolutely sure.
