Been using Liqui-Moly 4200 5w30 and I don't lose/burn any oil (yet).
From my past 2 year experience, I’d suggest you to go for 5w30 but with an imported brand from a reliable source. Amsoil, Liquimoly, Motul are some household names.
I too have a 2013 passat with the CKRA, I’m currently at 175k miles. I do my oil change every 7500 miles. I only use liqui-moly top tech 4200 5w-30. I usually never have to add oil between changes unless a lot of hard driving in the summer.
I have have had very good experience over the decades with Liqui Moly 5-40 and Total Quartz 9000 5-40 Both are excellent motor oils
I use 10W/60 Liqui-Moly with all my engines. I am old school and to a point, thicker is better.
Only vw507 that I can get in my area is motul or liquimoly. I get whichever is on sale.
I’ve been using top tech 4200 for years in my CKRA passat and swear by it. No issues at all currently at 175k miles
Used to go with Mobil 1 ESP for my Passat, but after discovering idParts.com, I now only run Liqui Moly as it was cheaper for me to buy an oil change kit on their website than it was to run to my auto parts store
Liqui Moly is good.
The Motul oil you’re looking at is pretty similar to any old big box oil, but it costs a ton.
