I run 15W-40 Shell [B]Rotella in my Volvo because it's an old turbo car and the enthusiast community has had success with it.

I feel like the engine sounds a lot better, and feels better running 4200 vs 6200, both of which are VW spec oils...
Pros: engine sounds better
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
I'm running liqui moly toptec 4200 5W-30 no way will I use a 0w-20 , specially when I have piggyback and other mods.
Pros: running liqui moly
Cons: no way use 0w-20
Mine went up to 223F, It usually hangs between 200 and 215, I'm running a Jb4 on map 2 +4 boost oil is liqui Moly 5w 30 toptec 4200
I did an oil change at 6,300 miles on the factory fill. I sent it in for a UOA through Blackstone labs, but I'm not sure how to attach it here. The TBN showed some life still left in the oil, they suggested trying 8,000 miles next.
Pros: life still left in oil
Mileage: 6300 km
It worth looking at Total Quartz Ineo Long Life 0W-20, complies with VW 508 00. It will be my pick for my 2019 Tiguan 2.0 TSI EA888 gen3-B V100 = 8.1 V40= 40 VI= 183 Pour Point = -66 C
Pros: complies with VW 508 00
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
That'd be nice. I could just run the same oil in the Tig and my Golf TDI. 504/507 Total Quartz is quite a bit cheaper than the Castrol 0w20 and it's been doing great in my Golf according to the Blackstone reports.
Pros: doing great in Golf
Cons: Total Quartz is cheaper
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I would drain that oil with the Marvel in it and use use 0w-40 Castrol Full Synthetic (Made in Germany/Belgium). You can get a 5 quart jug at Wal-Mart for less than $25 usually. It's probably the best "over the counter" oil you can use in a VR6. Widely used and highly recommended.
Pros: best 'over the counter' oil, widely used, highly recommended
