Mobil 1 10w30 with a bosch filter up here in Canada. Haven't had a tick since I started using it, at 110k km my engine is in good shape to begin with though.

Pros: no tick
Mileage: 110000 km

the Mobil 1 is the 0w40 Euro Formula, and has the VW502.00 approval that being said, Mobil 1 5w40 Turbo Diesel Truck is also a good choice, but no VW approval.

Pros: VW502.00 approval
Cons: no VW approval

Castrol Engine oil

In my gen 3, I've used Castrol OE Professional 5w40 (the Castrol in the gold bottle that the dealer sells - oil has a green tint to it), both when I did the 5k mile change and when the dealer did the 10k change.

Pros: meets VW spec
Mileage: 8047 km

Castrol Engine oil

I'm using Castrol Syntec Euro formula which is a 0-30 oil. I've been doing oil analysis with every oil change since I got the car. This change was a short interval with just 1400 miles on the oil between changes. Right in the middle was a track day where I did about 130 miles on track, six 20 minute sessions. I think I was seeing peak oil temps in the 240s with very quick recovery back down below 220 during cooldown.

Pros: quick recovery during cooldown
Cons: peak oil temps in 240s
Vehicle: Audi TT RS
Mileage: 2253 km

I run Mobil 1 5w30 and still change it every 5k. I could probably bump it up to 7500 or 10k but don't because I do it myself, and it isn't a huge cost or inconvenience to do it early.

Pros: easy to do early
Mileage: 5000 km

10w-40 Mobil 1 is the best oil you can have for your VR6 engine. Besides superior protection it also takes longer for the oil viscosity to break down.

Pros: best oil for VR6, superior protection
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Part number: 10W-40
