Both oils are very good as long as they meet the 502.00 VW specifications. I'm in FL and I use 5w-40 pennzoil euro for all my turbo VWs.
I used to have a B8 and kept my oil level OK as per the MMI and only used Liqui Moly oil.
Liquimoly 4210 0w-30 or pennzoil platinum euro lx 0w-30 are the two best imo. I have heard from some other mk8 owners that Pennzoil drops engine temps by 8-20 degrees F so thats what goes in mine.
Liqui moly 4210 pricy but dropped my temps 10 degrees 0w30 vw 504 rated..
I always run liqui moly 5w40. It's just thin. Change it every 5k miles.
I had been using Penzoil Euro L as well and have switched to Liqui Moly. I don't get my oil from FCP but will say Liqui Moly seems to be a very good oil.
As long as you get name brand oil at the weight your owner manual says you'll be good, I run penzoil in mine and she seems pretty happy with it
After NGP Racing rebuilt my engine in 2015, I found out about LiquiMoly. Read up on it and sticking with L.M.
im still on liqui moly 10w60 gt1
I'm a fan of Liqui molly GT1.
