I have a 2010 GTI and I have been using Redline 5W-40, non 502.00 approved. Got great wear numbers, but the non 502.00 got to me. So, for my next oil change, I will be using Motul Specific 502.00. The Motul seems to get great UOA numbers as well and is 502.00 approved. Bummer, too, because the GTI runs GREAT on the Redline.
