Liquimoly Synthoil A40, it has the most PAO.
Free lifetime oil change. FCP Euro.

I don't think it makes any real difference for your MK5. The Synthoil may have more PAO but that in itself doesn't make it better. You lose LL01 and 502 with it. Interesting as I didn't know it was a bit more expensive.
Wow, synthoil doesn’t have 502? That’s crazy.

That oil is I think able to legally drink in the US, that is how old it is.
I think the objective here is to avoid taking any of the recommendations in this thread and just continue to propose as many other alternatives as possible.
Wow times really have changed. Hope people don't still do this, especially if you have well water.
Yep - read about this recently. Still the best deal in town if you combine shipping with other parts/consumables.
Not for my vehicle. Way cheaper to do local.
How? I mean, shipping a box back full of hundreds of dollars in parts/supplies may be $50 at most.
How is not cheaper?
I can get oil and filter for $47 locally.
Cheapest FCP kit for my car is $62 plus you’re saying it’s about $50 to ship back.
Local is cheaper.
You missed it. An oil change kit alone to shiop back would be $21 for a USPS flat rate box. Call it $50 if you load with all the other crap you buy including wipers, filters, brake pads etc. It's $21 for an oil change so yes, it's half the cost of your $47.
For a 10k OCI, I don’t know if I could be bothered lol.

Yes, improperly packaged returns will be denied. Just double bag in original containers.
And how would anyone here know this anyway?

You took the words right out of my mouth.
I've sent many packages of crap back to FCP with an oil change or other fluids in almost every one without issue as far as I know. I put all fluids in their containers, tightly close the cap, and bag in the large plastic bags that they send them in, and close with a zip tie.
Send back your: oil kit, front & rear wipers, and charcoal cabin filter every year.
There's an extra $40 value for you.
Really the biggest thing is getting OE/OEM parts all in one go, without resorting to dubious autozone quality bits or waiting around at the dealer parts counter.
It's so flipping easy. Click click it all shows up in a few days. Drop old stuff in same box and drop at USPs/UPS/FedEx.
