I just did the 4th oil change (first non-dealer change) on our 40k mile Tiguan TSI and used Rotella T6. I use it in my stage 2 WRX and think it's fantastic, so why not in the TSI. Great oil overall.

Pros: great oil overall

Vehicle: Volkswagen Tiguan

Mileage: 40000 km

When I first purchased my 08 WE, I used M1 0w-40. I found I was using about 1/2 quart per 5000 miles. LM cut that down to about 1/4 quart per 5000 miles.

Pros: reduced oil consumption

Cons: high oil consumption with M1

Vehicle: Volkswagen Jetta

Mileage: 5000 km

I use Liqui Moly/Lubro Moly Oil (German synthetic stuff), can be found in Napa Autoparts, ECS or Amazon for a very reasonable price. I use it in my Audi and have had no issues whatsoever.

Pros: no issues whatsoever

This is a 2009 GTI, just over 27k miles on the car, and 10,000 miles on Rotella T6. Car is tuned APR stage 1 93 octane, and has a Carbonio intake. I had some concern that maybe I didn't oil the air filter enough, and it looks like that is verified with the high silicon.

Pros: good oil, easy to find

Cons: high silicon

Vehicle: Volkswagen

Mileage: 10000 km
