So your OLM goes down to zero after 11-12K Km? Interesting that in the US is 10K miles on the same engine.

Does Motorcraft meet the fancy VW spec?
Or are you just not concerned with it?

Not concerned. Ford uses turbos across the board...some twin turbo. MC 5w30 SB seems to be working just fine for them. Plus, I'm not going to go the recommended 10k miles on an OCI either.
How many miles you planning on going ? 5k ? Getting a UOA ?
It‘s your car to run what you want. Keep us informed of how it goes I would be interested to hear more.

What is the VW spec ?
VW 504 / 507 a ACEA C3 5W30 or
VW 508 / 509 a fuel economy 0W20 oil.
I‘m sure it went fine for your drive. I use to think that Euro cars only ran on thicker A3/B4 or C3 oil in 5W30 or xW40, but recently many have brought out thinner fuel economy oils. I now think the issue is to keep an eye on the oil, and not push the miles beyond the oil’s ability.
Motorcraft synblend has always impressed me when I have seen a VOA or UOA.
I’m enjoying what you are doing.

Thanks @SR5
0W-20, VW508.00 is the approval.
Before this Passat, I thought all vw used a 3.5 hths oil conforming to vw approvals. But like you've said...things have changed concerning viscosity. On many of the VW/Audi chat boards, quite a few members who once swore by sticking with approval for your car mantra are now running 502 or 504 in their GTi/A4 etc when these cars (newer one's) now recommend 0W-20 508. So I'll probably hear..."yeah but at least it's a vw spec". lol.
I seriously doubt I'd go 10k on any oil (my preference), but 5-7k? Sure.

Comments: VME 5w30 really quieted the engine down immediately. The Fram 3593A series filter fits perfectly in place of the 9688 series filter, hat tip to @TheBig2003 for the recommendation

OK. I agree that MC 5w-30 is a good oil overall, and for a 5,000 mile interval should be just fine.
I did not know VW had gone thin as well.
Just did the oil change on the 2005 Grand Cherokee with the 5.7 Hemi; I used Valvoline Full Synthetic HM 5W-20 with a nice NAPA Platinum filter.
Will do the Wife's 2010 T&C with the 3.8 later in the week when I do brakes and rotors on all 4 corners.
