           VW recommends a 5W40, diesel-rated oil.  The only oils which meet
   those specs are synthetic.  Most widely available are Shell Rotella T
   synthetic (many Wal-Marts have this one), Chevron Delo 400 synthetic, and
   Mobil Delvac 1 (NOT Mobil 1).  Castrol makes a special version of their
   Syntec in 5W40 which is apparently available only at VW dealers, which is
   also supposed to be suitable, but it’s quite a bit more expensive than the
   other options.
