Best Engine oil for Volkswagen Golf

I typically use Castrol Edge 0W-40 at 5000 mile change intervals unless my annual service interval comes up at the dealership.

I've been using the Liqui-Moly 5w-40 Leichtlauf High Tech since 2500 miles.

This stuff is amazing, totally worth the extra money.

I use this for ever oil change and I've had no problems, CEL, or oil consumption. I drive it hard with autox and have done 20+hour road trips.

I can confidently say this ‘leichtlauf’ oil really makes a difference. The engine feels healthy on cold starts, hot starts, hard acceleration, etc. Use this oil????????

I buy the Castrol Edge OE 5w30 that DAP sells and change the oil preemptively, always with VW brand filters. Has all the VW certs necessary, is what VW uses, and doesn't break the bank.

No warranty here (MKV), but i experienced a (significant) decrease in oil consumption, when switching from Motul, to MolyGen. YMMV.

I'm at 50k using M1 0W-40 at around a 8k oil change interval. Did the first change at 5k. Ran it up to 10k for the last change. Not burning a drop of oil. That is like a miracle for a VAG engine.

i been using it religiously for now 85k miles, i have tried Quartz Ineo 5W30 502 Spec oils made my engine produce more heat and valvetrain noises. The Castrol Edge 0W40 I use now tops out at 212, normally sitting between 205 and 210. With the 5W30 Quartz it was constantly sitting at 227-237 which is pretty significant.

this oil is my most trusted, been using it since new with the best results ( i tried Mobil1 0W40 and a 5W30 Total Quartz once each and oil temps were 15-20 degrees hotter in similar ambient temps and conditions with both of those so i decided not to use them again).
