IMO M1 0w40 is a very good oil that may do well in many cars. It is a master at being built to meet manufacturers specs.
Pros: meets manufacturers specs
Cons: high shear, high iron levels

I used Mobil 0w40 in mine all the time
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I switched to Mobil 1 0w40 european formula in hopes of better protection and less consumption. I have 51500 kms right now. I will check mine every 1500km this next oil change.
Pros: better protection
Cons: less consumption
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
Mileage: 51500 km
Mobil 1 Turbo Diesel Truck 5w40 should be able to go longer-- but you need to get a Used Oil Analysis done, in order to determine if you can.
Pros: can go longer
I use the M1-301 as well, the added capacity from the oversized filter is just nice for peace of mind. It's a PITA to get in and out though.
Pros: added capacity
Cons: PITA to get in/out
Part number: M1-301
i used mobil 1 301 filter in my passat for a year never has black oil oh ya my motor has over 200k on it with 15psi on it. mobil 1 is good stuff
Pros: never has black oil
My last car ran bosch filters and mobil 1 5w30. the guts were spotless. for my break in period on the new one i used mobil 1 filter. for probably longer than i should have. filtered very well. oil had very little specks in it.
Pros: filtered very well
Mobil 1 0w40 in summer, 5w30 in winter, M1-205 filter all the time, oil is never black when I drain it after 4-5k miles
Pros: oil never black
Part number: M1-205
just changed oil tonight... Mobil 1 0W-40 (VW 502.00 approved) along with a Mobil 1 M1-205 filter... It's my second one, no issues with the first one...
Pros: no issues
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Part number: M1-205
Speaking only for the 2.0T in our B7 A4...it burned nearly 1qt of Castrol Syntec 5w40 during a 5k interval. Before and after that interval I ran M1 0w40 for 5k, and it burned next to zero. Needless to say I'll continue to use the M1.
Pros: burned next to zero
Cons: burned nearly 1qt
Vehicle:
Audi A4
Mileage: 5000 km
