Correct oil for Audi A4 Avant 2.0 TDI

I need to buy oil to top up my 2005 Audi A4 Avant 2.0TDI S line. The handbook is confusing, as it seems that I need a different grade of oil if my car has a DPF, but there is no explanation as to whether this is fitted or not. Is it OK to use the higher grade of oil (VW 507 vs 506 00) anyway?

I don't see why not. Expensive, though.
