I've been running Liqui Moly in my cars. For me, it's reasonably priced, meets spec, and it seems to be generally well regarded from what I've read.
I decided to make the switch to Amsoil Signature Series because I see people switch to it and report no oil loss.
Using Rotella T6 synthetic 5W40 rated for turbo diesel. Lots of VW mkiv owners use it. Cheap from Walmart. Have been using Liqui Moly 5W40 as well but supplier is all out.
I recently switched from Liqui Moly to Amsoil recently, my wife's Tiguan seems to run a little smoother and is noticeably quieter at idle with the 5-40 European car formula.
Amsoil is just an above average full synthetic oil. It's nothing magical. It has a higher than normal "Total Base Number", which is what allows it to go longer between changes without going acidic.
I use Amsoil 0w40 or Eneos 0w50 in mine. For sealing and shear resistance for metal to metal contact, thicker is better.
That is what I have used for the past 3 years in my 97 m3. I havent found any difference between the LL-01 and LL-98 versions.
It's all I run in my E36s, 100% recommend it.
From previous experience with Audi and Volkswagen, I have switched to only use Liqui Moly. I would recommend using LIQUI MOLY to keep your Audi or Volkswagen running the longest.
I finally got religion and examined my latest oil change. No compliant oil for me at Walmart, Autozone, Advanced auto parts Last try NAPA auto little dinky grease pit hole in the wall. What\u2019s this? Liqui Moly, speaks German sold!
