It is when you buy from the big brand names.
But you really don't need to do so ...

Dunno if you can read a bit German ?

Thanks for the article, German happens to be my second mother tongue.

If they only allowed .w40 weight, I'd stick to that.
Only 5/10/15 W40 is OK for the 1.5D. I can try out 5W40 this winter. So yeah, no W30 in the TUD5. My engine has now 317.000 km (corrected) and I hope to keep it at least until 500.000 km.

That was before. In the 80's my father often drove 100 mph in 70 mph zones, now it's more 45-50 mph.

Interesting, thanks.
