Go with whatever is easy for you to source and also meets the VW502.00 standard. I personally run Mobil 1 0w-40 or Liquimoly 5w-40, whichever I can get cheaper.
My 911 has over 100k, I switched to 5-w40 mobil1. I’m sure driven is fine too, but mobil1 is perfect and designed for our cars, cultists be damned.
Mobil-1 FS 0W-40 is a solid choice, and you can’t go wrong with it.
Mobil 1 0w40 FS , it’s the factory fill for the car and the best choice.
Now the easiest one to find that meets my manual requirements is the Mobil 1 euro formula that’s the cool green color. The back of the bottle specifically states it meets VW specs.
If I was spending my own money I would buy Mobil 1.
I've always put Mobil1 0-W40 European car oil in my 2015 jetta since the day I bought it brand new but did notice they came out with a new 0-W30 oil but not sure if that's for the new jettas or not.
I do all my own work and the oil changes are either 10k miles or yearly, usually yearly. I'm not too concerned about the exact date but basically every spring the cars get an oil change, air filter and cabin air filter.
She burns ~ 1 Quart/5000 Miles.
I used 0-40 mobil 1. It turned out pretty bad for me, I ended up using more oil than I ever had before. The car smelled like a friggin chainsaw with that stuff. The engine only had like 100k on it, but the blowby was horrible with 0-40. This was just my experience. I use mobil 10-40 now and no problems so far.
