Engine oil MOTUL or AMSOIL

I went 10k on amsoil 5w40 and never needed to add oil.

I use the Amsoil 5W-40 european formula. It was not on the VW oil list last time I checked, but the Amsoil says right on the bottle "meets VW spec 502.00" so I'm cool with that. Amsoil has a great reputation.

i run it in my vr, 5w 30, full synthetic, it's nice

I use motul in my vr. It's nice.

Used the rotella for the first 90,000. Switched to AMSOIL so I can change the oil half as often. I'm good with either one. The car has 146,000 and runs as strong as ever.

FWIW, I used Amsoil in my old Mk4 GTI VR6 and in my R32 with no issues.

The 75K miles was tested on Motul 300V on stock internals equipped with a GT28R at the time. Prior to that I was using Motul 8100 5W-40 which I also liked

0w-40 weight oil is great for the VR6. I've been using either Mobil 1 or AMS European Formula (5w-40) in mine since day 1. 85k miles later it still runs like a champ. AMS Euro oil is fantastic stuff, definitly worth every penny.

i used their oil before and was very happy.
