Well the oil change itself is unbelievably easy and clean. The Motul oil works well for me.
Leichtlauf is great, I've noticed smoother overall operation in my 2.0 TSI Jetta and GTI since changing from dealer Castrol.
I run Motul in the Subaru with a bunch of track days and it has had no oil related problems and does not burn excessive amounts of oil with almost 75,000 miles.
Have you given the Motul Specific 502.00/505.00/505.01 a try? I switched to it years ago on my mk5 rabbit (140k miles or so over the past 5.5 years across 3 cars) with excellent results. It is a mid SAPS oil like the x-clean as well.
Run liquid moly. 5w40 at napa and its a really dependable oil
Cost me 62 dollars using motul xcess 8100 5w40 and took 15 minutes start to finish.
much to my surprise, the motor has not burned a drop of oil in the first 50,000 miles (I change the oil every 5000 miles).
I use liquimoly 5w-40 synthetic german blend that is vw spec and I do not burn a drop of oil between changes.
I've used Motul in my Golfs for years, good stuff.
The Motul stuff is pretty great, though I went with Liqui Moly Leichtlauf 5w-40. My 2.0 TSI Gen 2 really like that oil, never burned a drop and saw about +2% in fuel economy.
