Mobil 1 0w40 or Castrol 0w40, both at Walmart for around $25. They meet VW's 502.00
Nothing special about Motul or Liqui Moly that either of the above can't do.

Castrol Edge 0W-30 or 0W-40.
Liqui Moly is just over priced oil (in the US) that people buy because it looks/sounds/is German.

I've purchased it on Amazon before. Per quart it's about the same price as the 0W-40. There's really no reason to run it over the 0W-40, but sometimes you just want to run something different.

$22.97 at Walmart, I sold my MKIV VW last year, but it was a diesel. If it were gas, this is what I'd have used.

I don't think I have ever seen 0W30 in 5 quart bottles unfortunately
The times I've bought it, I happened to find it on clearance at my local AZ for $1/quart. It seems like it's being phased out from store shelves sadly. If I was able to find some 0W30 for the same price/quart as the two 0W40 oils, I would be all over it

Have to wait sale in AZ or AAP.
I had a 1.8t B5 Passat (2003) and always used Mobil 1 0W-40 without any issues.
Try to use oils that have the VW502.00 approval on the label.
I think many oils that dont have it can be used without any issues however for peace of mind the Mobil 1 is readily available.
Also try to to get bigger sized filter, if i recall correctly those engines are prone to sludge, i used to buy a K&N filter and there were 2 versions, always buy the bigger one.
Cheers.

Chris/Gena: we already have the shelves displaced from SOPUS take over (I'm not sure how this got done) - so if this is going to become a full time sales site on top of that - the products in my current inventory will be the last from Royal Dutch Shell ...

No thanks - I can afford motor oil and only do UOA on my CAT C280-16's ....
For the VW, I'd think about Rotella T6
