I used to run the 10w-40 Valvoline high mileage synthetic blend from Walmart.
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 conventional 20W-50 VR1 for oil, love it.
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
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.
As a Shop owner that Services a ton of Euro Cars we pretty much use all the Valvoline Euro Spec'ed Oil. They meet all the OEM requirements as we've also sent it in for testing. I have a 2014 CC APR Stage 3+ and thats what I run, Valvoline 5W40 Euro. No Issues.
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.
