Ewww! I was talking to a guy who was using just regular Pennzoil Ultra in his new Jetta TDI. I told him he should switch to something Commercial rated right away. He said "Nobody told me it needed special oil." I thought it would be a common-sense train of thought that if the engine burns diesel you might want to double check if you can use just any bottle of oil off the shelf. That goes for double since it's a VW with all their crazy specs.
