Last I heard, and maybe things have changed, the Castrol TXT has a VW part number and you can't buy it other than at the dealership. I know there are other options (Elf and Motul have 505.01 or 506.01 spec oils) but I haven't had time to hunt any down in Calgary.
Now: 00 2dr Golf TDI, 03 Jetta Wagon TDI, 02 2500HD Duramax
Then: 69 SC Transporter, 84 Rabbit GTI, 87 Fox GL, 91 Golf IDI, 96 Passat Wagon TDI, 97 Jetta IDI

Motul sells oil by the 60 case if you want, or 208L (mini?) drum. Last I checked, the 208L 505.1 5W40 VW oil was about $2400, but with oil prices going up lately, it might be a bit more.
