Pennzoil Platinum Euro Full Synthetic I've used the 5W-40 version for six years (EA888.3 engine). But any major brand full synthetic meeting VW 502 will be fine.
Any LL-01 5W-40 is technically suitable and approved. I use Pennzoil Platinum Euro 5W-40 in the N55 and previously used it in a B58 540i. There are other options as well.
My 1.8t is currently filled with Rotella T6 and I swear its eating less oil now (or maybe I'm getting better with my heavy foot)
Try Pennzoil Ultra Platinum next, I have used it in my WRX and I'm super happy with it. It literally makes my engine run quieter.
I use Pennzoil in my cars because it won project farm's oil showdown.
I always buy engine oil from Lotus (Tesco). Shell Helix especially on sale.
Pennzoil Platinum Euro is one of the best oils available as far as NOACK is concerned. It meets most if not all European car manufacturers specs and is the factory fill in Fiat/Alfa engines.
Tie between Royal Purple or Pennzoil, choice usually based on availability or sales. I might slightly favor Pennzoil due to its connection with Shell as I exclusively use Shell 93 fuel for the additives.
My engine is happy with Pennzoil Platinum. No leaks and minimal oil consumption.
While any oil can work for your car, the current best option in the market is Pennzoil Ultra.
