I use castrol edge fully synthetic 5W-30, many use more expensive Millers products etc, however if you're running standard / stage 1 and change oil at least on every interval (with top-ups where required) then this stuff is more than suitable for the job  :happy2:

cheap as chips with a halfords trade card  :evilgrin:

I take an empty container to the vw service dept. and they fill it for half the cost for me. Maybe looking into that will pay off.
