vs
Engine oil IDEMITSU or Total
It worth looking at Total Quartz Ineo Long Life 0W-20, complies with VW 508 00. It will be my pick for my 2019 Tiguan 2.0 TSI EA888 gen3-B V100 = 8.1 V40= 40 VI= 183 Pour Point = -66 C
Pros: complies with VW 508 00
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
That'd be nice. I could just run the same oil in the Tig and my Golf TDI. 504/507 Total Quartz is quite a bit cheaper than the Castrol 0w20 and it's been doing great in my Golf according to the Blackstone reports.
Pros: doing great in Golf
Cons: Total Quartz is cheaper
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I use total quartz. My tuner and other local shops that work on European cars highly recommend it.
Pros: highly recommended
Vehicle:

Total 9000 seems to be just fine for my Pug and it is recommended by manufacturer.
Pros: seems to be fine

Subaru OEM oil is Idemitsu 0W-20. I currently use Idemitsu Zepro\* 0W-20, a high-moly formulation from the same manufacturer.
Pros: high-moly formulation
Vehicle:

That's the wrong oil. You want the Idemitsu eco gold medalist advanced moly 0w-20, which is basically the same as Mazda oil(Idemitsu makes the mazda oil).
Pros: basically the same
Cons: wrong oil
Vehicle:
Mazda 3
Idemitsu zepro eco medalist advanced moly 0w-20. Basically the same thing as Mazda's oil.

I'm running 5w30 total quartz ineo mc3 502 505.01 in my '14 1.8tsi and my wife's '16 GSW 1.8tsi mqb. Great oil as the results speak for themselves.
Pros: great oil, good results

i had previously been using Total Energy 9000 5-40 and had been running it for 2 seasons .i would change out the filter after 1 year and top it up with approx. 3/4 qt of fresh oil. i don't drive a whole lot and had only put on about 9,500 miles in that time. i just switched back to Castrol Edge 5-40 this week.

You don't need to add any more additives to modern day oils. You said you will be using Mazda 0W-20 oil? This is one of the best 0W-20 oils on the market. It is made by Idemitsu for Mazda. It has very high Viscosity Index of 221. Most 0W-20 oils are around 170. This means it is one of the lightest 0W-20 at start up. This is what you want in the winter.
Pros: high Viscosity Index
Vehicle:
Mazda
