Owner reviews for engine oil

Mobil 1 extended performance 5w30

Motul 5w-30 [or 5w-40 when ambient temp is above 80] 8100 X-clean EFE, based on IAG's recommendation for the FA20

Mine uses Castrol I believe.

Owner's Manual recommends 5W40; but says that any oil that meets the VW 502.00 specification is fine. I've used that Mobil1 European Car Formula 0W40 since our two 2009 Mk5's (Jetta and GLI) were new, with no problems. Specifically zero oil use between changes.

I live in the same area with the same motor and run Motul 300V competition 5w40 on my high mileage track car at the recommendation of my mechanic

Amsoil Signature Series is all I have ever used, I will recommend it.

My preferred is Amsoil 10w30, the good stuff. Seem to burn less of it off when driving hard.

Pennzoil 10W30 full synthetic oil was perfect for my S2000 in CA 0 issues it's also very cheap

mobile super 3000 w0-30 is what i would run if i were you

My old 308 (2010), had the same engine; Total Quartz INEO ECS 5w/30
