I'm new to this mailing list. Don't know why it didn't occur to me before to look to see if there was a TDI mailing list, but I see it has a fairly large...
VW's papers all say ONLY ONLY ONLY dealership. Don't even know if they'll sell it over the counter. it's worded pretty much like "Use our oil or your ENGINE...
