Hi,

If you're talking about the ALH tdi motor, (1999 to 2004 year) it takes a fully synthetic CF-4 rated 5W-40 oil. Replacement every 14000 kilometers (8750 miles). Mine does not burn any oil for the full 14000 km's.

I only found this oil from two manufacturers. Mobil 1, called turbo diesel truck synthetic.

and

Castrol offers a 5W40 syntec for all Mercedes and BMW's but it has a label on it that it's rated for all VW tdi engines also. I researched this, and it's CF rated, but not CF-4 which is the newest standard. In any case i think both are very good oils.

Takes 4.4 Litres roughly. Each time you replace the cartridge filter, you must replace the O-rings that come with them.

If you need any parts and filters go to www.tdiparts.com

These tdi's willrun for ever if taken care of properly.

Good luck!
