If the car is driven like most daily drivers, 20 grade oil is 100% acceptable. If you actually use the car on back road jaunts for extended periods and/or track the car, I would move into a 504 oil. Apart from that, it's serious overthinking.
You can use your senses related to your driving style.
508 to 504 is too big a jump - you leapfrogged over the middle ground.
The Logical jump is to a ILSAC GF6 5W30.
As the 0W20 is a low ash, low HTHS oil, VERY similar to an M1 EP 0W20
So what exactly, in VW approved oils, is the middle ground?

Edy do you purposefully say wrong things? Because you do it all the time. The 2019 GLI absolutely does have a B cycle engine.
The 2019 GLI has the same 2.0 as in the GTI - not a Budak cycle like the Tiguan.
This stuff is so frigging confusing.
So in 2018 only Budacks in North America used 508 oils (Tiguan and A3). Apparently that changed in 2019, when they switched almost all engines to 508. I just assumed they were Budack engines.
So my apologies Edy, I was wrong on this one. We still don't know if they actually made any changes to the non-Budack engines for that oil though.
