look in your manual it will tell you in there;) 15w 40 should be fine in deisels but definatly check your manual because the gttdi's might need a more specific oil.

You want a 5w/30 in the TDI, otherwise the oil is too thick for the turbo  :smiley:

PD engines need an oil that is approved for use in them.

due to the forces deing transmited in the valve gear the oil must have a very very high file strenth and be resitant to shear forces. 

put unsutable oil in and the cams and tappets will chew each other to bits

hence why i said check the manual first, mines not a pd engine so not too fussy on specific oil, but yes pd engines have to heve the specific grade stated by Khare.
