Can't go wrong with Millers oil. Have used Fuchs supplied by TPS too previously.

Millers, Fuchs, Alpine, even Mobil 1 ... don't get any of those here.
Was just curious as to whether there's a benefit in the 1.2tsi CJZD of using a API SN PLUS instead of API SN rated oil.

I wish that most of these oils would get evolved into that later API version, as the problem exists, it should get addressed by oil makers.

Might then just give the Shell Helix HX8 a try in 5W40 for the interim oil change.

Will never really be sure what this whole VW 502.00 requirement is on actual oils. Ravenol's DXG is touting some interesting features, it's SN PLUS but not 502.00. I bet the oil manufacturers have to pay VW for the certification.
