personally, I think Amsoil AFL is junk. They ruined a stout oil when they reformulated it to mimick 505.01.
Cons: junk, ruined stout oil

I'm running Amsoil in my 06 GTi and loving it. No trouble with that I can tell, I check dipstick every fillup occasionally have to add some but not a quart, not even .25 of a quart. I've got almost 72k on the clock I did my last oil change around 67500 maybe a little more, and oil is still clean. Car sounds no louder or different from oil dealer had put in it.
Pros: oil still clean, no trouble
Cons: add some occasionally
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 72000 km
i run 5-40 amsoil in my VRT as well
I use Amsoil. While not on the official VW list as an approved oil, it is never the less formulated to the VW spec.
Pros: formulated to VW spec
Cons: not on official VW list
It's a little more pricey but extends change intervals and has worked for me. Keeps engine temps a bit cooler as well.
Pros: extends change intervals, keeps temps cooler
Cons: a little more pricey
I am not hating on Amsoil. I am running their engine oil and ****ing hate it. burned off another quarter of a quart in the last day of driving... ive never had this kind of consumption before and there are no leaks...
Cons: high oil consumption, no leaks

Audi A3
Mileage: 3000 km
im actually running that oil right now... I hate it tbh. 3,100 on the oil and it has allowed excess engine noise since day one, SUPER harsh cold starts, and now its burning through faster than the catrol I ran when I first got the car. a WHOLE QUART over 750 miles. the oil is thinner than piss going in, and it just doesnt stand up to what my engine can put out like Shell Rotella T6 has been doing...
Cons: excess engine noise, harsh starts
Vehicle:
Audi A3
Mileage: 5000 km
Now i am referring to amsoil, Delo 400, mobil one turbo deisel truck oil.
Pros: designed for diesel engines
in my Diesels i use amsoil or chevrons delco synthetic for heavy duty diesel engines.
Pros: heavy duty diesel engines
i change at the extended interval and use only 100% synthetic oil usually Amsoil. I plan on using the same in my TDI at the normal service interval unless vw makes a full syn diesel oil
Pros: 100% synthetic oil
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mileage: 900 km
