To release, turn it counterclockwise. http://www.myturbodiesel.com/1000q/a4/oil-change-Jetta-TDI-engine.htm Here are some more notes and pictures.

Meets VW 504/507
This is the common rail spec engine oil. It's approved and it'll work. However, I don't know either way if 505.00 engine oil (the original spec for your engine) is best because 507 engine oil is designed to be low ash for the requirements of the common rail engines.
To inspect oil specs, go to their oil manufacturer's page and check for the VW specs. http://www.myturbodiesel.com/1000q/engineoilNP.htm Here is a list of some approved engine oils.
