I ran Edge 5w-30 in my APR 2.0 TSI last winter, had the used oil tested at CAT afterwards for $13, and it did a great job.
Pros: did a great job

Just changed my oil @ 2k with Rotella T6. Sounds much quitters and feels a lot smoother. I've always used this and it's a damn good oil.
Pros: Sounds much quitters, feels smoother
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mileage: 2000 km
I've decided to buy the Motul 8100 X-Clean 5W-40 for my first oil change. It's fully synthetic, low SAPS and has a high shearing tolerance. Even the TBN is relatively decent.
Pros: fully synthetic, high tolerance
Absolutely. Great oil for your car.
Pros: great oil
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
I'm running Amsoil in my 06 GTi and loving it. No trouble with that I can tell, I check dipstick every fillup occasionally have to add some but not a quart, not even .25 of a quart. I've got almost 72k on the clock I did my last oil change around 67500 maybe a little more, and oil is still clean. Car sounds no louder or different from oil dealer had put in it.
Pros: oil still clean, no trouble
Cons: add some occasionally
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 72000 km
Anyway, when I had my Passat 1.8T and sludge issues were the big fad, my oil of choice was Valvoline Synpower 5w40. It met 502 and was not a synthetic blend but rather a real synthetic.
Pros: real synthetic
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
When I dumped my dealer Syntec 5w-40 for M1 0w-30 in Dec, it was night-and-day. Way lighter and better.
Pros: lighter and better
Cons: 5w-40 is very thick
I have noticed my car is "running better" with the Rotella, and i have not had to top it off at all compared to running Motul 5w40 i had to add quite a bit over my OCI.
Pros: running better
Cons: had to add quite a bit
Vehicle:
Audi A4
If you want it quiet and smooth, run 10w-40. If you want best mpg or live in the cold 1/2 the year, run 5w-30. 10w-30 is a-ite in many cases. It'll burn less than 5w-30....generally.
Pros: quiet and smooth
Cons: burn less
Looks to be exact same procedure as on my e46. Perhaps the easiest oil change I've ever done. In fact, I've used the same brand and spec oil too, which is an BMW LL-01.
Pros: easiest oil change
Vehicle:
BMW
