From what I've seen, the t6 holds up well, doesn't shear quickly, does well with fuel dilution, protects surfaces well, since the metal readings go down, etc. I don't see any negatives, regardless of what that article says
Pros: holds up well
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Rotella T6 is great oil (lots of STI guys run it) and I wouldn't hesitate running it in my R... except that it isn't VW 502 approved... so warranty is at risk if I had a failure in the engine.
Pros: great oil
Cons: warranty at risk
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
The biggest advantage is that it's CHEAP and works well. I don't run it in my R...yet. I am still under maintenance free. I do run it in my Stage 3 B5 S4 and in my 1991 Audi 200 though. Haven't sent the oil to Blackstone for analysis, but haven't had any issues either.
Pros: cheap, works well
Vehicle:
Audi S4
I like pentosin and motul

Volkswagen Jetta
I use to use Castrol Syntec 5W40 (what the tig came with) and all I could get here. Last spring I opened my own shop and can get Kendall 5W40 Euro and started using that as it is 502 approved. I found it made the engine run smoother and quieter. My customers have noted the same.
Pros: engine run smoother, quieter
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
Personally, i like the Lubro Molly stuff the best. While not too relevant to the MKVI and the TSI engine, when I used it on my former MKV with the FSI engine, I definetly noticed a lot less oil residue on my tailpipes and the engine just felt better, smoother and quieter.
Pros: engine felt better, smoother
Cons: less oil residue
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I've been running the AMSOIL 5w40 in my cars exclusively for the last 5+ years and it has lasted well and held up to abuse as well.
Pros: lasted well, held up
I've used the OE spec Castrol syntec 5w40 since I bought the car brand new. Do my own oil changes every 5k with the stuff and no issues.
Pros: no issues
Motul is quality stuff. I had a MK5 and drove it about 90k miles and I put Motul every 5k and my car always performed well.
Pros: quality stuff, performed well

Volkswagen
Mileage: 144840 km
