If you have purchased a 2004 or 2005 tdi VW car? Look Out!
I need Castrol's (txt 505 01 vw) synthetic oil for my tdi (diesel engine): If you do not use this specific oil you will (void) your cars bumper to bumper warranty: I have contacted, Volkswagon of America (1-800-822-8987), & Castrol Oil Company, Bi Mart, Gi Joes, Shucks, & the VW new car Dealership:
It seems that no Castrol Distributors sell this oil, even though the VW new car dealers have access to it at $ 8.75 per litre or quart? (to the consumer)
This maybe Warranty Extortion? And also violate thier
Companies (castrol's) Distributor's Agreements? With thier other Retailers;
Volkswagen told me that one set of bearings in thier
(pump dusche) (tdi) engines require a (special oil)?
Manufactered only by castrol oil company:
I think A group of persons should challenge this
(Practice) of making one lubercant for one (Cam Bearing) In (one engine) and allowing this Oil to become a (VW) (Part Number)? Which if not Used< will void the New Car
Warranty?
This Graded (castrol txt 505 01 VW oil) should be independantly tested: & if it is found? To be the same as a common oil found on the (Open) Retail Oil Market? Then this would be Warranty Fraud, also:
To: Demand A Specific Oil be Used to assure a Vehicles New Car Warranty
A Class Action Suit Should be filed by New Car Buyer's & / or Members of the Volkswagen Club of america!
This is nothing short of Piracy!
Below are e-mails recieved by Castrol oil Co. And / or
Volkswagen of America or (Mexico):
Thank you for contacting Castrol North America.
VW only plans to sell a limited number of the 2004 / 2005 "Pumpe-duese" equipped VW models that would require the 505.01 lubricant annually.
The 505.01 engine oil is specifically formulated to ensure protection of the cam lobes that drive the unit injectors. High loading requires the proper level of antiwear protection.in turn VW needs to ensure that
505.01 is utilized for this engine design. The cam shafts are mechanically driven and assist in the build up of fuel pressure in each injector.
Castrol Germany is supplying Castrol 505 01 and this product is only available in North America through VW dealerships. It is branded as Castrol 505 01 oil and has a VW part number (G 052 167A2).
Thank you again for contacting Castrol, The Technology Leader!
