Which oil for Golf Plus 57 reg 1.9TDi 105

[PajeroGolf]

Hi All

I recently bought a Golf Plus 1.9TDI SE 105 on a 57 plate (Nov 2007).

I had no service documentation so I contacted the VW garage that sold it new and they sent me the service history.
It states the word longlife next to 2 services back in 2008 and 2010 and then oil changes at roughly 20,000 mile intervals. The last change was at 102,000 and the service light is now on at 118,000. Can I safely assume that it is on the LongLife Plan?

I now want to service independently on an annual basis. Does that mean that I should still stick to longlife oil? I have looking at 507.00 spec oil because I am not sure if the car has a Diesel Particular Filter. These are the oils I am considering :-

Mobile 1 ESP 5w30 - Its states 507 compliant but then some exclusion for PD engines on Time and Distance service. Not sure what that means.
Quantum Longlife III - There appear to be 2 different types with the same name but one is about £10 more (for 5 litres). Which One to go for?
Gulf Formula GVX 5W - Seems to tick all the boxes
Castol Edge 5w30 - Most expensive of the lot.

Which one of these should I go for if i intend to change oil every year (10,000 miles). I am favoring Mobil1 as its available locally from Euro Car Parts for under £30 but I am concerned about the exclusion warning stated on the back.

Please advise
Regards

At over 100k I would come down to a yearly or 10,000 mile service. Long life plans Imho are fraut with danger and are not best suited to older diesels. Oil gets contaminated quickly on a tdi and therefore you have foreign material including minute metal fragments that are circulating for twice as long on a long life plan.

I use the Shell Helix Ultra 0w 30 as it is the recommended lube also around £30 for 5l when on offer but anything rated VW507.00 is good if you have a DPF.

yes it has been on longlife,as above revert to 10k fixed interval,can't go far wrong with castrol edge 507.00,I in fact I change at about 8k.

Any of the 4 oils you listed in OP with 507.00 is fine, go for whichever is the cheapest.

Hi All

Thanx for the information.

Based on your advice I have this morning purchased 5 litres of Mobil 1 ESP and a full set of Bosch filters from Euro Car Parts for under £45.
They seem to be having a sale today as that lot was near to £60 yesterday. Need to buy online using promo code EXTRA15 to get an extra 15% off the sale prices.
I reserved online and collected and paid in store.
