The oil you MUST use should state that it is suitable for a VAG PD diesel engine, if not, the cam can fail which will cost you around £1500 using all genuine parts at a main dealer.

We use Quantum Platinum or Longlife 3 from a VAG dealer.

Basically if it says VW505.01 (note the .01) or VW507 you should be ok.
