I would be very vigilant on using an approved oil until you hit that 12 year 162k mile extended warranty VW was forced to extend on these dieselgate vehicles. I am sure they would love to deny a claim because of it. Keep good records also, of this and other required maintenance. That being said, any 504/507 with official VW approval will be fine, follow the sales on M1 ESP 5W30 at NAPA or whatever else is out there. TRIAX seems pretty shady as they baited and switched an order on me a couple years ago and their approval/recommended/suitable language is suspect as they make nobodies actual list for approvals, or didn't in the past. I'm using the M1 ESP but also have Valvoline 504/507 in one vehicle and Red Line in another. At least with Red Line and probably Amsoil, they will stand behind you if there is a dispute about their product suitability if they recommend it. I have also used Ravenol in the past and it is good but somewhat expensive. Motul specific is also a good, sorta expensive alternative. I use Castrol for oil bath air filters.
