If you want something better for your car, maybe you can try Liqui Moly(personal favorite).
This is what I use in my meteor, I've had no issues with it.
Ich kauf immer Liqui Moly, deutsche Herstellung, da hab ich mehr Vertrauen.
Ich nehme nur liquid molly oder Castrol, man hört so viel, früher wäre es egal aber inzwischen sind die Motoren und der Kettenantrieb bzw die Riemen viel billiger/ empfindlicher gebaut, da würde ich kein Risiko eingehen wollen.
Mk7.5 GTI 2019, bought new and ran 0W-20 for the first couple years for warranty (approx 70k) and then switched to Liqui Moly Top Tech 4200 / 5W-30.
I'm curently at 134k and no issues, I'm switching to the leichtlauf 5w-40 on my next service for the extra protection and because I can get it a few dollars cheaper than the Top Tech 4200.
Extra info, I have seen some stuff about valvoline. Engine looks pretty clean inside after they ran valvoline restore and protect.
Change your oil to Valvoline Restore and Protect 5W-30! Change every 3000 miles, filter too!!!!!
Valvoline is the best and bang for the buck for me.
Moly is 100000% better than whatever the fuck they use at the dealer. I swear, the moment I decided to start taking my VW to an indie shop that works on exclusively German cars, and asked them to use LiquiMoly, my car has run significantly better.
I'm not trying to put down LiquiMoly as a brand, but SAE is SAE. Now I wouldn't choose like a cheapo store brand, but big brands like Valvoline, Pennzoil, Mobile, those are all gonna be pretty much just as effective at completing the job they were designed to do.
