PD oil good for common-rail? - FP
Given that oil suitable for VW PD engines is higher spec than your run-of-the-mill fully-synthetic diesel oil, is there any advantage for, say, owners of common-rail engines in using it? (It just so happens Halfords have it on special offer at the moment... and I have a service coming up for my Peugeot 306 HDi.)

Yes.
Provided the viscocity suit your car, the VaG PD suitable oils are of a very high spec regarding anti-shear properties.
