I use the blue antifreeze (G11) that was specified for my 1987 16V. I am currently running 10W40 synthetic oil.
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Scirocco
Part number: G 001 100
I use Pentofrost (Pentosin is the OEM supplier to Porsche). Our local NAPA carries it even.
Pros: OEM supplier to Porsche
Vehicle:

I use Pentosin Pento HP II fully synthetic Euro Spec 5w-40 oil (made by Fuchs Oil in Germany). According to test data I have read it is a much better oil than the Mobil 1 oil. I believe that the 5w-40 oil provides greater protection against oil vaporization, as the OM642 can run at elevated temperatures leading to high oil temperatures, which tends to break down the oil sooner.
Pros: better than Mobil 1, greater protection, resists vaporization
Pentosin is one of my trusted brands. I would not hesitate to use it.
Pros: trusted brand
I've used pentosin E for full flushes of two Golfs (2015 and 2017). No issues. Prior to that, I used it for topping off. It's the right stuf being G13 regardless of slight color variation pink/purple.
Pros: no issues, right stuff
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf

I used 3 of those Pentosin blue with a bottle of Water Wetter and the rest is water.. my temp is 30 degree higher than it was before and I don't know what the heck it was in there before which is this yellow/green milky stuff, it sure kept the engine mostly below 180. But now I hit 220-230 easily
Pros: kept engine mostly below 180
Cons: temp 30 degree higher
