I'm going on 5 years 1 month using M1 0-40...I did try Castrol 5-50 once just to try it out, and the engine behaved itself...both synthetics and about $6-7/qt...

Pros: engine behaved itself

The car itself is outstanding for the price, excellent quality build in my opinion. However the FSI engine has given a few of us some headaches. Mine performs great, except for burning excessive oil.

Pros: excellent quality build

Cons: burning excessive oil
