I don't see any 0W-16s available from the usual suspects but found a mention of a Mobil Super 0W-16 on mobil.jp.
I run the 5w-40 synthetic liqui moly in the dark blue bottle. can be sourced locally in US at NAPA for about $45. Many run the Mobil one 0w-30, I use that along with a LM engine flush, which I do every oil change( 6 month intervals) I have tried the 5w.-30 from Liqui Moly also. Best performance hands down 5w-40 year round. It has all the specs for our cars.
since I have been using the Liqui Moly I really have not had that much of an issue with oil loss.
Personally, I would buy Mobil 1 5w-40 Turbo Diesel Truck. Not the VW spec oil. The Mobil oil has much higher amounts of zinc which helps reduce the cam wear inherit to that engine. I have been using it in my BRM and just checked my cam the other day with 70k miles on it and it looks perfect.
I actually just bought that Liquid Moly 5w-40 on Amazon, more expense but reviews for our cars are great. Will report back after my next oil change.
If I do the oil change, I only use Mobile 1 0W-40 Synthetic European Formula. I get them at Walmart for $25.50 for 5 quarts. For oil filter, I usually buy it from the VW dealer.
Going to use what I use on all my VW's - Liqui Moly Good quality and Amazon has some great prices.
Mobil 1 of varying weights for all of my cars. Been using it for years and it's served me well.
I use Mobil1 0W-40 on my 1.8T with 150,000 miles and engine is definitely quieter after oil change.
Mobil 1 5W-30 and a matching oil filter. '93 244 with 311,000 miles.
