What’s the best oil to use?

Was wondering what’s the best oil I should be using in my car.
I’ve got a mk6 gti stage 1 Apr & DSG remap.

Bazgti:
I use Millers nanodrive 5w40. Its usually recommended with modified VWs. Awesome GTI recommended it me. They burn oil like no tomorrow. With this stuff in, it burns much slower.

CFS or EE Longlife (guessing the CFS) ?

I would just use a 5W40 Mobil 1 personally.

Millers Nanodrive is generally recommended for the EA113 because of it's flat tappet pump follower.  MK6 engines have roller followers, so anti-friction additives aren't necessary.  Besides which, Nanodrive isn't VAG approved, and personally I wouldn't use an oil VW haven't tested and approved.  If you want a NanoDrive equivalent with factory approval, go with LiquiMoly Molygen 5W40.

Would Castrol Edge Titanium FST 5w-40 be ok to use in my car??

My hand book states I should be using oil marked VW 504 00, the stuff I’ve mentiones here has VW 502 00 & VW 505 00 marked on the label??

Any help would be appreciated last thing I wanna do is put the wrong stuff in it!!!
