It has the BMW Longlife-04 approval, so even if VW does not use it for 30000kms, other manufacturers do and it is made to withstand it.
It's true, the same oil Castrol Edge Turbodiesel 5W-40 for BMW it is longlife-04 but for VW it is for max 15000 km or 12 months.

I check the engine for sludge but everything is clean, i changed the oil filter at 30000 km and the old one was totally in a good shape.

Anyway i will monitor closely the oil. About the lab tests we dont have any lab here in Kosovo, if you are willing to do it thats fine for me.
