My VW Passat turbo IS NOT a diesel. It does however take 5w-40 synthetic. Can I still use this? Have had blocked screen before and was expensive

VW turbo engines require a European specification. I don't know it offhand, but I would doubt this meets that specification. I used to own a GTI and I used Mobile 1 synthetic. I think it was the 0w-40 that meets the European spec......

You absolutely can use it. That being said there are likely better choices for gasoline turbo engines. This is a heavy duty diesel engine oil. Oils like pennzoil platinum, quaker state full synthetic, even mobil 1 has a 5w40 made just for your car and in my opinion give better protection but I use rotella 5w40 in my motorcycle, 4 wheeler, diesel pickup, diesel tractor and love it.

Newer diesels require filtering in the micron range. I would not recommend this filter for that.

With the modifications suggested in the other answers, I installed a Travel All Barrier in a 2013 Jetta Sportwagen. It works great.

While I am sure that Amsoil is a great product, the difference is that Motul is 502.00 approved by VW, and Amsoil is not. If your warranty is still in effect, this probably should mean something to you.

I'd think it would be ok since VW Audi and Porsche may share cooling technology. I would check with a mechanic to make sure. Your car is a lot more valuable than my 2001 Jetta and more at stake. Take it easy.

Keep the stock exhaust. Turbo diesels have a lot of engineering that goes into the exhaust system that the engine depends on to run properly not to mention all the new emissions stuff. I would advise against this.

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.

I do not believe so....typically diesel engines use much different filters. My quick search shows this a few different ones, but you should always verify yourself.

I am sorry I can not help you. I gave it as a gift. I do know it was not A Jetta it was used on.

Not sure about VW 502 - I'd check VW Vortex for that. I use it in my 2004 Porsche 911 and it has done very well so far. I submitted it for Used Oil Analysis and the results came back great. I also noted that this oil, even in Texas summer heat, stays clear for the first 6000 miles. I change it at 8000 miles, and it's still really clean. Hard to believe, but that's what I'm observing. There's some other good info on this oil at www.BobIsTheOilGuy.com .

This bulb is designed to not throw codes. I have a VW and there were no codes. You should be good

for my 2007 2.0 turbo it was no problem they went on with no issues. The Passat should not have any issues. I do recommend knowing what size the bolt pattern is to verify that your part does match. The installation should be done by someone you trust or yourself if you have the required knowledge.Hope this helped

Other option is to remove the mass air flow sensor and spray the wire/sensor. Did it to my VW passat and wasn't too hard.

It depends what year. There is a half million oil change DIY threads online for VWs. I'm sure you can find one. Don't trust amazons "fit check". If you can't be bothered to do that, take your car to a shop. The wrong filter could leave you with a ton of problems.

It's specifically for cars and trucks that use this diesel technology. It DOES NOT go in your gas tank. It goes in a specific tank that passes the bluedef through the vehicles exhaust And treats the autos emmissions.

To the best of my knowledge this is made specifically for Diesel engines.That is why I picked it and what I use it on. There are other synthetics out there for other uses.
