I used to use mobile 1 fully synthetic 5w 30 with a quart of lucas synthetic oil treatment and it work pretty good and i could get about 5k out of it. I just got hooked up with an amsoil dealer so im now using amsoil's european 5w 30 and im going on 7k and its still pretty effin clear
Been using AMSOIL since day one of my first oil change. Damn good oil.
The oil comes out cleaner with Amsoil. I also notice much less oil loss/evaporation with Amsoil compared to Mobil 1 or anything I've used. With Amsoil the level does not go down at all.

Here is an amoil oil test in Acura TSX. The 43150 mile test is amsoil series 2000, the 34000 mile test is mobil syn blend. At 5700 miles amsoil contained the same 7 parts of iron, that mobil syn blend contained at 3000 miles in the previous test. Thus about 1/2 the wear vs mobil syn blend. Damn good oil.
I've used AMSOIL since 1977....in everything from to name a few, my 83 GTi, 88 Scirocco, 04 R32 and now the wife's 06 Passat 3.6L as well as my 04 Volvo S60R and have never had an issue. I use the 5w40 in the Passat and 0w30 in my Volvo.
I have used Amsoil's 5w-50 on my mk4 GTI 1.8T and my Passat from their first oil changes until now. I love the oil and use it exclusively.
Pentosin High Performance is the right one to use. 5w-40 Pento High Performance 5W-40 is an especially formulated fuel economy engine oil. It is based on synthetic base oils only, the most modern and best engine oil additives currently available and a very shear stable VI - Improver. The combination of these exquisite components guarantees an excellent engine performance under the most severe driving conditions. Pento High Performance 5W-40 is ideally suited as an all season engine oil. Pento High Performance 5W-40 contains a special combination of very efficient fric-tion modifiers which cause the engine to run very smoothly. Even more important, it causes fuel savings in a recognizable way.
I would stick with oils like PENTOSIN/LUBRO-MOLY/CASTROL GERMAN/MOTUL/ This one is easy. Anything not made in the US and is 100% synthetic. I use Pentosin high performance 5w-40, 502/501/500 approved oil.
