I've always liked Penrite, how good is it in this situation?Two options would be Nulon 5w-30 Euro spec diesel oil or Penrite 5W-30 Enviro +
Both readily available at Autobarn or Supercheap at a reasonable price.
Can go the likes of Liqui-Moly or such great oils at a higher price range and a bit harder to get.

If you are asking for yourself and you have an early 2.5 R5 with no DPF you MUST use 505.01 or 506.01 oil to avoid premature camshaft lobe wear.I've always liked Penrite, how good is it in this situation?
From the Penrite website: Enviro+ 5W-30 is a full synthetic OEM approved VW 504.00/507.00 engine oil
60,000kms on one one oil change or oil changed every xx,000kms?I've done 60,000kms on Penrite, no dramas.
Mine is a 2004. When does the DPF start?If you are asking for yourself and you have an early 2.5 R5 with no DPF you MUST use 505.01 or 506.01 oil to avoid premature camshaft lobe wear.

I've used it on and off for around 50K, currently stocked up with 30 litres of the stuff for future services.Hey NoobyToogy have you tried the Liqui Moly Top Tec 4200 Diesel specific. I just recently noticed it had not seen it before.
