I've used Motul in my Golfs for years, good stuff.
I switched to Redline 5w-40 at my last oil change, just barely into my second round of it now. So far so good.
Sounds like you already have your answer, but yes, the Motul 8100 X-Cess is a good oil, probably better than their VW specific oil.
Been using Motul on my 3.2 for the past two oil changes. Haven't had any issues.
I had use both and i have driven more miles without needing to refill with motul. But motul > mobil one
If you're looking for high moly content, I like Redline oil. Google it, there's tons to read on Bob is the Oil Guy alone. That, as well as Motul, have been great in my 2.0T which is pretty hard on oil.
I always ran the Motul Grand Prix in my shifter, I never had any engine problems. Still run it in my dirt bike, I love the smell of it, too.
I use MOTUL for my oil.
When I changed to full ester Motul in my motorbike, there was a noticeable reduction in the time it took for the startup rattles to quieten down.
Motul is quality stuff. I had a MK5 and drove it about 90k miles and I put Motul every 5k and my car always performed well.
