It doesn't really matter as long as you get one that meets the specifications for your car which should be VW502 in your case. Mobil 1 0w40 and Castrol 5w40 both support that and are widely available for a reasonable price.
Pros: widely available, reasonable price
I used Castrol oil and was not satisfied but this oil till date has helped alittle with consumption as well.
Pros: helped with consumption
Cons: not satisfied
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I’ve been using Castrol’s 5w-30 with the RN0720 spec (for DPF filtered diesels like yours and mine), it’s the best oil for thins engine. 100.000km doing oil changes every 10k and it’s as good as new, very good fuel economy and no leaks
Pros: very good fuel economy, no leaks
Vehicle:
Renault Clio
Mileage: 100000 km
Walmart sells the Castrol full synthetic eurocar recommended by Audi.
Pros: recommended by Audi
Vehicle:
Audi
Castrol sucks
Cons: Castrol sucks
Just to let everyone know, VW/Audi recently dumped Castrol and they now roll with Mobil 1.
I run Castrol Edge in mine, the spec exceeds API SN PLUS/SP and ILSAC GF-6, coupled with a genuine hyundai filter
Pros: exceeds API SN PLUS/SP
Vehicle:
Hyundai
I use Castrol as it’s the OEM product and is cheap if you buy direct from Ford.
Pros: cheap, OEM product
Vehicle:
Ford
My more modern VW runs Castrol EDGE OE 5W-40 full synthetic. That's what my VW dealer in Utah fills cars with.
Vehicle:

Part number: 5W40
