It's very good oil and made my old cars engine smoother and more responsive.

I take it this would be good for a Stage2+ MK6 R over the standard 5w30?

I bought a few bottles of this the other day.  I can't see any issues with using it.  For the price its a no brainer.

Guys,

I hate to be a buzzkill and love a bargain as much as anybody but I think this particular oil isn't suitable for our GTI's. Looking at the specs, it only meets the VW 502 spec. Our GTI's should use oil that meets VW 504 spec. I stand to be corrected by more knowledgable members but I'm pretty certain on this.

It's 504 if its on longlife or 502 for time/distance servicing.  So as long as your on time/distance this oil is fine.
Looking at old service bills for my car, its what the dealer used to use until he recently changed to a 10w40 semi  synthetic.
