VW Passat 2011 1.6 TDI BlueMotion. Oil choice.

Advice

Hey folks.

Oil change time on the old faithful. Been using Mannol 7907 (Energy Combi LL 5W-30) bi-synthetic for couple of years now as it was cheap and fit the 504 standards as well as made engine sound and feel nicer, but now became harder to find for fair price as before.

Was wondering what people use for the 1.6 tdi to swap to different brand and maybe going fully synthetic. If anyone can share what they use or what might fit for this engine perfectly, Thanks.
