I actually just bought that Liquid Moly 5w-40 on Amazon, more expense but reviews for our cars are great. Will report back after my next oil change.

Cons: more expense

If I do the oil change, I only use Mobile 1 0W-40 Synthetic European Formula. I get them at Walmart for $25.50 for 5 quarts. For oil filter, I usually buy it from the VW dealer.
Pros: synthetic european formula
When I had a sportbike I bought Repsol and Yamalube oils because of sponsorship.
Pros: bought Repsol oil
As someone mentioned the Castrol Edge 5w-40 (black bottle) that Napa carries is probably very close to VW OEM dealer oil. If it is good enough for Porsche I am sure it is more than good enough for VW.
Pros: good enough for Porsche
