Mine just says VW507 00 with DPF and VW507 00 or VW505 01 without DPF.
Mine uses 5W30.
I wonder what the difference is between your A6 3.0tdi and my A4 3.0tdi?

I seriously didn't even know which oil my car uses. If it shows the oil is low I just phoned Audi and made an appointment to get it topped up.

I got the quote to extend my freeway plan on my A7 on Friday. To extend it to 30/03/2024 or 180k km's (I just hit 150k km, whichever comes first) it is R47k. Seriously thinking about just getting a third party insurance and hoping for the best.

My Freeway plan expires this month and I am not renewing it - There are alot of information on the internet that will help you with choices you need with oil, coolant, DSG oil and other additives.
The only thing I am going to see the dealer for is Adblue , I noticed that there is a whole range of adblue and they all have different specs so I think just to be sure I will get it from Audi .

Nothing much to go wrong if the car was well maintained, only thing I have left to do is Glow Plugs and Injectors eeverything else was done including engine mounts and suspension refresh

Are injectors on those engines hell expensive?
And why would they need replacement at that relatively low mileage?

Well If I ca get the on time bolts I will service them, if not rather change everything, they have been used to 150 000km - glow plugs too but I am looking for the Bosch or NGK last time I check at Goldwagen they were out of stock and only has some topran brand so I didnt take it
