TDI is VW 508 00 / 509 00. Same 0w 20 FS IV, but VW 508 00 is TSI Fixed or Variable. TDI VW 509 00 is even if on Fixed Oil & filter service. Same with the 0w 30 FS III or 5w 30 FS III. 504 TSI fixed or Variable. But 507 00 is a TDI even if Fixed Oil & Filter servicing.

Just bought 1 Ltr of Shell Helix Ultra Professional AV-L 0W-30 to keep in the back of the car should a top up prove necessary (no signs yet, thankfully) 👍

@Ooopnorth You asked best oil, pitty you never said 'Topping up'. If 0w 20 FS IV was used at the last Oil & Filter service then you should really top up with that. Not that a little different spec of oil will make a difference, just a diesel engine after all. At next service 0w 30 FS III might well be the way to go. As to Brand, matters not a jot as all to the Recommendation Spec does the job. Just a diesel engine after all. IMO.
