Ouch this stuff isn't cheap and at 9 qts yet....probably needs a special filter with a special media element coated with unobtainium...
There's a thread running about GM limiting repair options in an effort to protect their proprietary software....VW has gone one better, spec an engine oil that you can only buy at the dealer!
My friend's Tourag is the gas engine not the TDI.
I don't buy my oil at the dealership, I can buy it on sale at Pep Boys. Mobil 1 European ESP 5w-30, by the liter. The motor in the Touareg is the same as is the Audi Q7 and the Porsche Cayenne.

Google is your friend, type in "VW 507.00 5L" and buy online and save.
Total Elf 5L Vw 507.00 motor oil. 36.99 for 5 liters
