I used Amsoil in my old Mk4 GTI VR6 and in my R32 with no issues.
0w-40 weight oil is great for the VR6. I've been using either Mobil 1 or AMS European Formula (5w-40) in mine since day 1. 85k miles later it still runs like a champ. AMS Euro oil is fantastic stuff, definitly worth every penny.
i used their oil before and was very happy.
I use Amsoil full synthetic 15w-40 year round in my 1.6D with over 250k miles.
Amsoil 20w50 in my 8-v 12:1+ 1.8 liter Rabbit Amsoil 5w-40 in my street turbo Jetta and track turbo Golf.
I switched to amsoil 20w50 and the temps are down to 230ish
With the AMS and a 20 row cooler my temps stick at 190-200 dependant on ambient temps thus far.
Stick with the synthetic. The tiny turbos on the TDI's are heavily stressed and mineral oils are just not up to the task of protecting the bearings in the turbo.
I have used Amsoil, but I feel as if my motor makes a funny noise with that in it.
