Welcome to the world of late model diesel technology. Due to the emissions
controls the recommended oils are low zinc/phosphorous etc. For any brand
look for the VW specs 504/00 and 507/00. This will also lock you into lower
viscosities such as 5w-30. Do not look for older Diesel oils. Mobil sells a
5w-30 ESP which is carried at Mercedes/Sprinter dealers and has these specs.

As for break in, newer engines really don't need much babying . Just don't
abuse it. Normal driving in traffic for a few days will take care of it.
