IMO M1 0w40 is a very good oil that may do well in many cars. It is a master at being built to meet manufacturers specs.
The only oil I used in my Audi before Amsoil was Mobil 1, and this far surpasses it.
You will not get better, check the results yourself, I gained 9hp and 6 ft lbs of tourqe and increased my gas mileage per tank 35-50 miles.
I used Mobil 0w40 in mine all the time
But from my experience with it, it has made a difference in several of my vehicles (not only VW).
I switched to Mobil 1 0w40 european formula in hopes of better protection and less consumption. I have 51500 kms right now. I will check mine every 1500km this next oil change.
Mobil 1 Turbo Diesel Truck 5w40 should be able to go longer-- but you need to get a Used Oil Analysis done, in order to determine if you can.
Speaking only for the 2.0T in our B7 A4...it burned nearly 1qt of Castrol Syntec 5w40 during a 5k interval. Before and after that interval I ran M1 0w40 for 5k, and it burned next to zero. Needless to say I'll continue to use the M1.
0w40 and 5w40 Mobil 1, both perform nearly identically from what I can tell. I think the car started a little quicker in the dead of winter when I switched to 0w40.
You should be ok I run Mobil 1 0-40w in my 120k 1.8t and I have no isues what so ever
