    So the full price of the A3B4 oil was something like $75 and the DPF 504/507 was $79, so I only had to pay an extra $4 odd to make up the difference when exchanging the A3/B4 for the DPF blend

    So with a genuine VW filter, VW one use sump plug and castrol DPF 5W30 my oil change only cost $65.

    The previous owner was paying $200+ at ultratune....
    A bit different when the whole story is told isnt it. Even if it was a bit dishonest

    Would you be confident Ultratune were using 504/507? I don't think i would risk buying 2nd hand with an Ultratune stamp in the service book...

    The whole story was explained in my initial post

    Hmm well I purchased a heap of the A3/B4 oil (30L) and had two left at the time of acquiring my passat. I wouldn't say it was dishonest as I didn't have the receipt since it was purchased ages ago and merely wanted to exchange it which SCA gladly obliged to

    Hmm never can be sure, its the same at dealerships though!

    The invoice had castrol professional 1L x 5 and was invoiced at something like $25-30 per L (which as you would know the professional product comes only in 1L) so I'm as confident as one can be, based purely on an invoice...
