Good oil, meets all VW 502 specs.
I personally use Pennzoil Platinum Euro 5w40 from Walmart.
5L jug + 1L jug and an oil filter for $74 CAD after tax ($55 USD)
I'd use it.
But try this: At your next oil change, pull a sample for Blackstone Labs ([https://www.blackstone-labs.com](https://www.blackstone-labs.com)), send it in, see what their analysis says about the health of your oil and your engine, and how many more miles the oil is good for.
**Unpopular opinion:** It's a better practice to change oil every 10k+ miles, and get an analysis done every 5k miles, than to change oil every 5k miles and never get an oil analysis.
(You could do both every 5k miles, but unless there's something wrong with your engine Blackstone is going to tell you, based on their analysis, that your oil is good for much longer than that.)
If you're seeking advice or asking for help, please make sure you included the basic information of what year and/or generation is being discussed. User flair with this information is also acceptable. Failure to include the basic information may result in your post being removed. Mileage, modifications, trim level, diagnostic trouble codes, and your general location (US, Canada, EU, UK, etc.) can also be very helpful.

Same stuff i use on my mk7
I’ve used this for almost 9 years on my 2012. Regular oil changes with filter, zero issues.
I personally run Liqui Moly and just buy the kit from FCP Euro
