Mobil 1 0w-30 AFE has the correct certification, I just used that. Easy to find.
This is a late response but I just saw your post and it's exactly what happened to me when I took my 2018 GSW 1.8 TSI 4Mo in for the 20k mi service. They filled it with 508 00 0W-20. I didn't catch it until much later and I changed the oil myself at 27k mi with Mobil 1 502 00 VW approved 0W-40 oil.
I did my own oil/filter change at 27k mi with Mobil One European Formula 0W-40, since I'm a little uneasy about 10k intervals in So Ca stop and go traffic and 100+ F heat.
I've been using 0W40 Euro Formula from Mobil 1 for years in both my cars. You will be fine running it.
As a Mercedes-Benz guy, I've used Mobil One European Formula 0w40 in them for decades. It is very good oil. I have well over a million miles on Mercedes-Benz cars using that oil with the extended (10K-15K mile) change interval with zero issues. Several of my cars have gone over 200,000 miles.
But if you want the short of it:
ANY high mileage full synthetic 5w-30 oil will do great. Mobil 1? Sure. Amazon Basics? Hell yeah. Wal-Mart's Supertech? Send it.
I dropped some 0W-30 Mobil 1 this winter, and my sol with a d15b7 loved it. Made cold starts very smooth, and noticed no reasons not to continue running it.
I've used only 5w30 full synthetic (usually Mobil 1, sometimes others) since I bought mine 15 years ago (D15B7). Using the high-mileage variety nowadays, supposed to help out the old seals etc. Just over 150k miles but engine runs very smooth so seems to be doing the trick.
I use Mobil 1 synthetic blend HIGH MILAGE 5w-30. I think the high milage formula is the best for these old engines.
I was using Mobil 1 fully synth 5w40 on my old cab with no problem at all. good pressure at idle and at 2k. I used this oil in my new cab (same engine) and boom! No oil pressure at for the first 15 secs. Then it immediately jumped to 5 bars and finally settled down to 1 bat maybe less. However, I saw a dramatic increase in oil pressure even with the 5W40 mobil 1 when I switched to a 2L oil pump. Idle pressure was arround 2bars. Although I used it last summer and it worked just fine throught my vacations in Greece.
