Importance of using VW 505.01 in a PD Engine

I use Castrol Turbo Diesel Edge 5W-40 for my New Toledo 1.9Tdi.

Its specially produced by Castrol for VW PD diesels with fixed interval servicing and meets VW 505.01.

Costs about £ 12.00 for 1 litre at Halfords.

and you can get the oil VW dealers use from your local motor factors for less than half that price.

Is the Platinum stuff not around £20 or less for 5 ltrs, can't see factors being £10?

Long life we bought before was about £35 right enough
