Go with a decent brand like Mobil 1 SuperSyn 0W-40 next time.
Mobil1 0W40 is thin enough for me.
Mobil 1 is still in a beach chair sipping Corona's at 260deg
i pay 8 bux a liter for Castrol TWS MotorSport 10w60 oil...so, that's like 42 bux (after tax) for 5 liters, then next change i'll pay like like 29ish for 4 liters...since i have a half liter or more leftover from the last change... then like 6 bux for OEM filter, drain plug and seal... so...48 bux/35 bux per change for me, just for oil & filter...
i use 5-50 non mark (mobil 1) my egine dont sound and my car dont need that weekly oil refilling any more
Surveys on several VW forums have Castrol 20w50 a clear winner for quality, price and availability, but other good brands like Valvoline, BP, Shell etc get honourable mentions too.
If you run it HARD than a 20/50 oil is good. I run castrol non synthetic, but I'm thinking of switching to Royal Purple. Still want to get more opinions before I do the change over but I heard good things about that brand.
castrol 5-50 synthetic in my vr6 passat , 5-40 mobil-1 delvac in my TDI passat.
Due to the higher milage on my motor I run synthetic 15W-40 (Mobil 1) year round.
I use regular, dino, Mobil 10W-40. I got so many miles on my Passat(185,000), that I don't using synthetic Mobil 1 would help much.
