I think if you go VW511.00, Porsche C40 oils, you are set. Mobil1 ESP 0W40 is readily available in Germany.

Do you not think that 0W40 is Little Bit to much for a sae20 Engine? 504/507 will be the best specifiction Right?

What do you generally think about 0W20 oils with a high dose of molybdenum? Is this positive or does molybdenum also cause more deposits? Wear protection itself should actually improve. What is your opinion on this?

I have decided. For the rest of the lifetime of the type r, I will use the mobil 1 esp 5W30. Ordered it today, 5 litres cost 40€.
How is it working for you? I also have a Type R (FK8) that is primarily a daily driver that will see the track, but only twice a year. Just a couple lapping days, nothing too serious. Currently running QSFS 0W-20 with an A02 filter and one FilterMag. Thinking about stepping up to a 5W-30. QSFS, M1 EP, and M1 ESP are all on my short list. Not really sure which to pick. They're all affordable and available enough for me. I may run a side-mount oil cooler in the future, for peace of mind. I'm in the SE US and temps rarely ever get down below 20F in the winter. I will also tune to the car for more power soon from about 300whp/300wtq to around 370whp/370wtq, but still on the stock turbo, just other bolt-ons (intake and intercooler).
