Mobil1 0W40 is fine.
i've gone M1 0w-40 and love it but i might experiment this summer
I run M1 0w-40 and do that at about every 7k and it could prob go longer.
I'm going on 5 years 1 month using M1 0-40...I did try Castrol 5-50 once just to try it out, and the engine behaved itself...both synthetics and about $6-7/qt...
I'm sticking with Mobil 1 0w40; it's always been an excellent engine oil for my cars.
my gti loves mobil 1 10w-30. beenn using it for 170k with no issues
I run mobil 1 synthetic 0w40 all year round, with no problems. Best of both worlds
I am planning on using redline 5W40 which is not on the vw approved list but has an awesome HTHS viscosity and I have used it in my boxster S with big improvements over M10w40.
The car itself is outstanding for the price, excellent quality build in my opinion. However the FSI engine has given a few of us some headaches. Mine performs great, except for burning excessive oil.
I've moved up to Mobil 1 5W-50 from Syntec 5W-40. So far I really like it. No noise on startup at all with it. I also use the monster oil filter.
