I use Liqui Moly/Lubro Moly Oil (German synthetic stuff), can be found in Napa Autoparts, ECS or Amazon for a very reasonable price. I use it in my Audi and have had no issues whatsoever.
I run VW. 502 Lubra-moly 5w-40 that my local NAPA special orders for me.
I use Pennzoil Ultra 5W-40 European formula in both of my GTI's and use only oem filters (which are very good btw).
ran Total before but the 8v seems to like the Liqui moly more
That is my personal favorite so far. Use or burn less than anything else I have tried, and I swear the engine sounds quieter. Previously used Castrol, Amsoil, Mobil 1.
I just picked up some Penzoil synthetic 5w-40 today and right on the front of the bottle it says "Meets BMW and Mercedes requirements" a little search on back label listed all the specs and all VW specs listed above are on the back of the bottle.
