I use the Amsoil 5W-40 european formula. It was not on the VW oil list last time I checked, but the Amsoil says right on the bottle "meets VW spec 502.00" so I'm cool with that. Amsoil has a great reputation.
Pros: great reputation
I use mobil 1 0w40 and it makes a big difference
Pros: big difference
I personnally use Elf and love it, best oil I ever used so far.
Pros: best oil ever, love it
I've topped off with Castrol Syntec 5/40. The cap says Castrol on it and the manual says to use VW approved synthetic 5/40 so I figure I can't do better than that.
Pros: VW approved
Cons: Finding the stuff is kinda hard
0w - 40 Mobile 1 was all I used for over 3 years, and the R was flawless until I sold her.
Pros: flawless performance, reliable
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I use Mobil 1 0w-40 in my car (1.8T) because it is readily available, VW approved, has good performance and a decent price.
Pros: good performance, decent price
Mobile1 Full Syn 15w50 for my VR. I would like to think that if you changed your oil every 3000 miles under normal driving conditions than regular oil would be fine. Since I have some modifications and like to drive it like I stole it--sometimes-- than a better oil is good insurance.
Pros: better oil, good insurance
Mileage: 4828 km
i run it in my vr, 5w 30, full synthetic, it's nice
Pros: it's nice
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
I use motul in my vr. It's nice.
Pros: It's nice
