Fellow vanners,

[Excuse the cross post]

Just got a 2012 Jetta TDI - now I have no excuse if I fill with the
wrong fuel. Couple of questions:

The dealership shop foreman said no break in just drive it regularly.

The owner's manual says pretty much what any gas engine breakin says:
600 miles easy, no full throttle, avoid long periods at a single speed
[I think they mean RPM] then gradually increase up to about 1000 miles.

What says this group? Shop foreman or manual?

The shop foreman also said they use a special Castrol SLX Professional
LL03 5-30. Doesn't say diesel rated on it, matter of fact it's not API
rated at all, made for VW and as far as I can figure out only sold
there too.

An opinions on this?

Mike
