I run 15W-40 Shell [B]Rotella in my Volvo because it's an old turbo car and the enthusiast community has had success with it.
Owner reviews for engine oil
I ran Castrol 0w-40 euro blend for both my e46s and the stuff was awesome
I use Mobil 1 full synthetic on my track prepped 350Z
I feel like the engine sounds a lot better, and feels better running 4200 vs 6200, both of which are VW spec oils...
I'm running liqui moly toptec 4200 5W-30 no way will I use a 0w-20 , specially when I have piggyback and other mods.
Mine went up to 223F, It usually hangs between 200 and 215, I'm running a Jb4 on map 2 +4 boost oil is liqui Moly 5w 30 toptec 4200
I did an oil change at 6,300 miles on the factory fill. I sent it in for a UOA through Blackstone labs, but I'm not sure how to attach it here. The TBN showed some life still left in the oil, they suggested trying 8,000 miles next.
It worth looking at Total Quartz Ineo Long Life 0W-20, complies with VW 508 00. It will be my pick for my 2019 Tiguan 2.0 TSI EA888 gen3-B V100 = 8.1 V40= 40 VI= 183 Pour Point = -66 C
That'd be nice. I could just run the same oil in the Tig and my Golf TDI. 504/507 Total Quartz is quite a bit cheaper than the Castrol 0w20 and it's been doing great in my Golf according to the Blackstone reports.
I would drain that oil with the Marvel in it and use use 0w-40 Castrol Full Synthetic (Made in Germany/Belgium). You can get a 5 quart jug at Wal-Mart for less than $25 usually. It's probably the best "over the counter" oil you can use in a VR6. Widely used and highly recommended.
