Just updating! I used to put Castrol Magnatec 5w40 on that Golf, and the engine just improved from day one. Much smoother and with greater response to throttle, and the engine start got like 2 seconds faster, almost instantaneous.

Pros: much smoother, greater response

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

If you want to do 5k oil changes, best to switch back to Castrol GTX or any cheapo oil as you'll have no significant advantage using synthetic for short periods of time.

Pros: cheaper option

Cons: no significant advantage

Mileage: 5000 km
