I personally like using pennzoil euro platinum 5w-40 in my Mk7.
I've run Pennzoil Ultra in 5W-30 for the past 4 years and never had a problem.
Some 5w-40 can be quite thick in cold. The 0w-30 here is German Syntec, and trust me it's the same visc curve as 0w-40. As you see, 5w-40 is 3-4x thicker in cold than jug 5w-30
I use Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0W-20, and follow a 5K miles/6 months time change schedule. (It’s twice as often as is recommended but that’s just my personal preference on how often I change it, not indicative of oil quality or use parameters.)
Pennzoil Platinum Euro 5W-30
I run Amsoil in both of mine. Also use all their gear oil and transmission fluid
Pennzoil ultra platinum. It is what they put in it from factory and it is one of the best oils around next to amsoil for a lot less money.
I run 5w-40 in my veloster (2012 w/ 140k miles). An engine with that many miles has greater parts tolerance than it did when new.
I know this is old, so you’ve probably already made your decision, but I use Pennzoil Platinum. It’s a great oil as well and tends to be slightly cheaper than the Amsoil.
I personally am a big fan of Amsoil of Motul 300v.
