when i worked at a jiffy lube type place we would put 15w40 synthetic in the diesel cars/trucks.
However Mobil 1 recommends 5w40 on the VW TDI's. http://www.mobil1.com/USA-English/Mo.../Homepage.aspx

I personally would use either Mobil 1 or AmsOil in my car, but I am sure a synthetic oil is a synthetic oil
