Mobil 1 extended performance 5w30
Motul 5w-30 [or 5w-40 when ambient temp is above 80] 8100 X-clean EFE, based on IAG's recommendation for the FA20
Owner's Manual recommends 5W40; but says that any oil that meets the VW 502.00 specification is fine. I've used that Mobil1 European Car Formula 0W40 since our two 2009 Mk5's (Jetta and GLI) were new, with no problems. Specifically zero oil use between changes.
I live in the same area with the same motor and run Motul 300V competition 5w40 on my high mileage track car at the recommendation of my mechanic
mobile super 3000 w0-30 is what i would run if i were you
I use Mobil 1 in my RT and it's been good.
I would say 0w20 Motul 8100 is a solid choice.
I use Motul's 0w-20 "Eco-lite" and change about every 4-5 (or April-October really) with about 25 autocrosses and the highway driving to get to them.
I use Motul 300v 0w20, plus oil analysis from Blackstone Labs, currently every 6k miles until they tell me otherwise
I had consumption issues with Mobil-1 0W-40 in the W8, and Castrol/Valvoline 5W-40's showed signs of wear at higher mileage intervals when I ran a 10,000 OCI as recommended by VW.
