    Quantum oil is great I use that or TripleX PD oil for my 1.9. Is getting the filter from dealership the best choice? I just go ahead with Mann filters.

    Quantum is Fuchs and Triple QX is Tetrosyl .

    Mann is VAG OEM and Hengst also top draw.

    So which ones better between Fuchs and Tetrosyl? I'd imagine as long as its the correct spec and changed regularly it shouldn't make a difference.

    That is correct , a spec is a spec .

    I've used both Quantum LL3 and Asda 504.00 507.00
    ( Tetrosyl ) .

    For the PD engines the VW spec is 505.01 for 10k mile changes unless you're on the long life maintenance schedule.
    My preference and the consensus seems to be that regular 10k mile changes are the way to go for engine longevity.
    Hengst are the best filters, I recall finding a site that disected various brands of filters and their design and construction are superior.

    I agree about the Hengst , but not the 505.01 oil .

    Use the 507.00 LongLife III regardless because it's higher quality .

    My car doesn't have a DPF so I can use either, I choose 5W40 505.01
    For DPF equipped cars then I believe 507.00 is the correct spec.

    The problem is with a flat tappet cam engine none of the emissions compliant oils are good at protecting wiping surfaces and need a good additive to help protect the cam and lifters but one that does not poison the catalyst.

    Lol , I though we sorted this one out .

    As we know the PD has flat tappets and narrow camshaft lobes subjected to high loadings thanks to the PD unit injector wider camshaft lobe taking up room .

    So the PD needs a good anti wear oil for longevity .

    The 5W40 505.01 is a group 3 oil basestock ( actually a severely hydrocracked mineral oil allowed by a court case to be called a synthetic ) with a good dose of ZDDP .

    Trouble is with a good dose of ZDDP causes high ash issues for dpf , so in 507.00 this is reduced but the oil basestocks are juiced up to include true lab synthetics , groups 4 and top group 5 .

    Now 5 can also hold more detergents which also reflects in 507.00's higher additive package concentration and also group 5 being a 10-20% content in ester racing marketed oils such as Millers Nanodrive CFS NT+ .

    The result is an even higher anti wear oil specification than 505.01 + other improved oil performance perameters .

    Thanks for the refresher, I understand about the differences and after i've depleted my stock of 505.01 (got a great deal in Germany last year) i'll see what's available at that time.
