I have been trying the Shell Rotella T6 out for the last 3 changes. seems to be working out quite well so far. Just checked my fluids yesterday after 2k miles and I only needed about a quarter of a quart. not too shabby.
I have been using it for about 15k km and two oil changes and have noticed allot less burn off compared to the dealer filled castrol 5w -40.
I noticed M1 burns less then castrol, i might try redline and see. i am pretty happy with m1 compared to castrol thats for sure.
it was really good. no oil consumption problems and car just felt a niice smooth power delivery the whole time i had the motul running. I also had minimal wear on my cam follower which is a big prob for people with upgraded fuel pumps on fsi's, although i have no idea if this could be related.
im actually running that oil right now... I hate it tbh. 3,100 on the oil and it has allowed excess engine noise since day one, SUPER harsh cold starts, and now its burning through faster than the catrol I ran when I first got the car. a WHOLE QUART over 750 miles. the oil is thinner than piss going in, and it just doesnt stand up to what my engine can put out like Shell Rotella T6 has been doing...
