does this oil work with TDI B4 passat? (1996)

It does have a cf diesel oil rating, but it's not really a top choice for a diesel because the tbn, ( total base number), probably isn't that high. Pennzoil doesn't list tbn's on there website. You would have to call them to find out. Tbn levels control the drain interval, if it's low, 7-8, then you have to drain the oil pretty often. If the tbn is up around 12-13 then you can go long drain intervals which makes it cheaper if the price of the oil is the same as a low tbn oil. If you live in an area of the country that doesn't get that cold, then stay with Pennzoil 15w-40 longlife diesel motor oil if you can find it. Or Mobil 15w-40 delvac which you can buy in 5 gallon pails. In the fall months Mobil has a $25 rebate per pail so I have been able to get the cost below $2 per qt. Those are both global spec diesel oils which are long drain. Or Mobil 5w-40 diesel turbo oil which is commonly on sale at major parts supply stores such as O Reilly's, Auto Zone, Advance Auto and others.

You probably have the 7-speed DSG in your TDI. You might want to check with VW, since there was a fluid change on this transmission.

I have a 2013 TDI VW Golf, and this is what my VW guy suggested. When in doubt I would ask your Audi mechanic. I think Audi uses the same TDI diesel engine as Volkswagen. My dealership has no problems answering my questions, and you should do the same. They really do not mind helping you out, and that way you know you are getting accurate information.

Depends on the make of your car. Is it a VW? Some diesels have special requirements. this oil is mainly used in heavy trucks (class 8). This oil will replace 15w40 standard oil.

Hi, this item works on all OBD II Vehicles (1996+ in USA) and EOBD vehicles (Petrol cars from 2001+ and diesel cars from 2003/2004 in Europe), please noted.

I used it instead of the Mercedes for my 1998 E300 TD. Your manual should tell you how much to use. Not sure why you need to change though. Typically, transmission oil last for the life of the car.

See the owners manual and check recommended oil volume for that model, but sounds about correct since that volume was created for German cars.

On "all" it's hard to say. I am a master certified Mercedes Benz technician and I have been working on them for 12 years. I use this kit for anything I've ever needed to check. You may have to get a little creative for it to work but I haven't ever had one that I couldn't use this on. On a side note, they do have Schrader valves in some of the fittings to prevent leak down but if you have to hook a few together to make work then removing the valves may be required. Also it won't work on Benz diesel after the high pressure pump but will work for the low pressure feed from the tank. Cannot answer as to the bmw side but would imagine it would work well.

This is not officially sanctioned as a Mercedes or vw 507.0 oil. However I have run this in my vw 1.9 diesel and in a Mercedes 3.0 diesel both with 150k now. The sepecs of t6 actually out perform castrol 507.0, mobile 1 euro 5w30 in shear protection, and far out performs mobil 1 turbo truck in cold starts in shearing protection. There are numerous vw and Mercedes forums that support using this over castrol and mobil 1. However only use this after your warranty is up, as it is not 507.0 approved.

This should work with any synthetic motor oil. I've used it with Mobil 1 as well as Castrol.

I would agree that it is since we have the same engine "technically". The issue you may want to consider is if you have been using a non-synthetic oil- this one is indeed synthetic and I hear that you shouldn't mix. If you are already using synthetic this is a fantastic oil for our cars. I am using it in a 2012 Audi A4 1.8T

Yes,I run Amsoil euro synthetic in my 2.0t vw along with a bottle of this magical liquid! Great product!

I use the Mobil 1 M1-301 Extended Oil filter for my 2002 VW Passat wagon with the 4 cyl 1.8T motor. This is a superior oil filter that I use with Mobil 1 Extended performance oil which recommends using the oil for 15,000 miles. I change it every 10,000 miles. My VW has 206,000 miles and runs great. You can determine which Mobil Oil filter is right for your car at:http://www.mobiloil.com/USA-English/MotorOil/Other_Products/Mobil_1_Extended_Performance_Oil_Filters.aspxTom

Hi there, I just used the kit on a 2006 tdi jetta. I looked on Alldata and the same tools are used on the 2011 tdi 2.0 engine. So I would say "yes" they will work on 2009 & 2011 vw tdi engines.

I'm not sure if it would since the 2015 Passat uses a different engine in the TDI than previous years. Best thing to do would be contact your dealer's parts department and find out what part # they have for an oil filter. Then google that part # and see if it cross references to Mann's 719/7x part #. Mann doesn't have a listing yet for the 2015 Passat in their online catalog.
